Q1

#### Who is the agent, and who let it act?

People and agents sign in through one identity plane. Every action is attributed to someone.

#### Where does our data live?

Partner-hosted in your region, or self-hosted. It does not leave.

Q3

#### What stops an agent doing the wrong thing?

Airbender ARC rails, decided before the action happens: annotate, deny, block, kill or isolate.

Q4

#### Can we prove what happened?

#### What if the vendor changes the terms?

Airbender ARC

## Six rungs. Kilter's governance layer.

Airbender ARC decides every consequential agent action on a six-rung ladder from observe to isolate, and records each decision as evidence an auditor can replay.

Rails · the six rungs

1.  R0 Observe
2.  R1 Annotate
3.  R2 Deny action
4.  R3 Block session
5.  R4 Kill product
6.  R5 Isolate workload

Each rung is proportionate: the lightest one that contains the risk. [How Airbender ARC works, at airbender.io →](https://airbender.io)
