Decision Framework
TRIUMVIR
The framework that governs what you're allowed to not notice.
The Foundational Belief
Most catastrophic failures are not caused by bad intent or low intelligence, but by cumulative micro-decisions made under cognitive load.
Triumvir does not judge people. It judges trajectories.
Triumvir exists wherever decisions compound, consequences are delayed, humans are tired, and failure is silent until it is terminal.
It is not a product. It is not an app. It is a decision framework — a pattern that can be applied anywhere judgment matters.
The pattern is simple: Observe reality continuously. Project futures pessimistically. Judge risk explicitly. Intervene before failure becomes inevitable.
Products are manifestations of this pattern, not definitions. Each follows the same structure, applied to a different domain with a different posture.
What Triumvir Governs
Triumvir does not define what to do. It governs whether a course of action is acceptable given known risk. It answers only three questions:
Is this action coherent with the system's future?
Is the risk bounded and survivable?
If not, has the human explicitly accepted responsibility?
If the answer is no → Triumvir intervenes.
"You may override me — but you will never be unaware."
Triumvir does not remove agency. It removes ignorance.
Why Triumvir Is Not Neutral
Neutral systems enable harm by omission. Triumvir therefore:
Takes a stance
Not advisory. Procedural.
Refuses unsafe actions
When basis is insufficient, proceeding is blocked.
Forces clarity
Every assumption must be explicit. Every risk named.
Records dissent
Override is allowed. Ignorance is not.

The Decision Governance System is the first implementation. Three models. One verdict. Zero theater.
