DETERMA: The Moment Before an AI Action
An external authority layer that rechecks whether an AI-proposed action may proceed before it changes a real system.
Field notes
The homepage separates an AI proposal from the resulting state change and places an external authority layer between them. Its GitHub example binds approval to one repository, one manifest file, an unchanged base head, and a pull-request-only policy; the approval is exact-action and single-use. DETERMA also presents the same evaluation model across MCP or tool calls, CRM updates, cloud changes, financial actions, and IT operations. The displayed verdicts are explicitly simulations rather than records of customer deployments.
