DGS
Decision Governance System
Three voices. One verdict. Zero theater.
"Is this action acceptable given known risk?"
The Decision Governance System does not suggest. It governs. It allows or blocks.
Three-Voice Dialectic
Proposition
Voice OneObserves the situation. Identifies what is being asked. Surfaces the assumptions already embedded in the question.
Challenge
Voice TwoProjects consequences. Attacks assumptions, identifies risks, names what the first voice normalized or ignored.
Synthesis
Voice ThreeWeighs the tension. Integrates perspectives, determines sufficiency, issues verdict or explains why decision must wait.
Three Verdicts
DECIDE
Sufficient basis exists. Verdict issued with confidence level, assumptions, risks, and next actions.
DEFER
Insufficient basis. Proceeding denied. Information gaps identified. Path to decidability provided.
PAR
Proceed with Acknowledged Risk. Human override. Risk accepted and recorded. Responsibility transferred.
Governance Posture
Authoritative
Not advisory. Procedural governance.
Cold
No optimism. No narrative. No ego.
Explicit
Every assumption surfaced. Every risk named.

What It Is Not
• Not open-ended. It does not explore possibilities. It delivers verdicts.
• Not a consultant. It does not advise. It allows or blocks.
• Not an optimizer. It does not find the best answer. It determines if proceeding is acceptable.
• Not neutral. Neutral systems enable harm by omission.

The system will evaluate whether proceeding is acceptable given known risk.
