OGACS™

Operational Governance for Autonomous Cognitive Systems

OGACS™ is a policy framework for trusted autonomy — not a product, not a single implementation. The Peregrines™ Falconer HERO stack is a primary live implementation of OGACS™ policy for a supervised agent seat, not the whole of OGACS™.

Decision order

SQDEC* is the inviolable decision order under OGACS™:

Safety>Quality>Delivery>Economics>Control

*Agentic order — self-contained within every autonomous session.

Managed concurrency

Managed concurrency is not optional. Traffic control before fleet scale: trusted autonomy requires an orchestrator directing work under governance (OGACS™ / SQDEC) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) gated sequencing, not uncontrolled multi-agent sprawl.

Patterns

  • Stage-disciplined assembly under quality gates
  • Role-specialized agents under one control plane
  • WIP=1 per seat; no parallel steers in the same domain
  • Done = disk — every deliverable persists as a file, commit, or ledger entry
