Design Partner Program · Q3 2026

Govern one consequential workflow before expanding agent authority.

Work directly with DecisionHypervisor’s product and security engineering team to place deterministic authority, policy enforcement, intervention, and evidence controls around a bounded AI-agent or automated workflow.

Selected partners receive a private governed-execution sandbox, implementation support, architecture access, and influence over the controls required for production deployment.

Limited cohort · Private deployment options · No production access required for initial evaluation

Who the program is for

The Design Partner Program is for organizations preparing to give AI agents, automated workflows, or intelligent machines authority to perform consequential actions — but that cannot rely on model reasoning, prompts, or application-level permissions as the final control boundary.

Enterprise AI and agent-platform teams
CISOs and security-architecture groups
Infrastructure and platform-engineering organizations
Financial, healthcare, industrial, defense, and regulated operators
Robotics and autonomous-systems teams
Organizations evaluating MCP-connected agents
Teams with a specific workflow that requires approval, containment, evidence, or shutdown controls

The program is not intended for general chatbot evaluation, prompt optimization, model benchmarking, or low-risk productivity automation.

Workflows the program is built to govern

01

Govern an agent that can initiate payments or modify financial records

02

Control infrastructure changes proposed through an AI coding or operations agent

03

Enforce authority around MCP tool calls

04

Require evidence and approval before customer-account actions

05

Apply jurisdictional and role-based constraints to regulated workflows

06

Test intervention and shutdown behavior for autonomous systems

07

Replay historical decisions against updated policies

08

Graduate an agent from supervised execution to constrained autonomy

What gets built together

Each engagement begins with one bounded workflow. Together, we define its actors, proposed actions, authority sources, contextual requirements, approval conditions, evidence obligations, intervention boundaries, and outcome-verification rules.

Sandbox scope, where applicable
  • Workflow and authority mapping
  • Structured Decision Objects
  • Pre-execution policy evaluation
  • Human approval and escalation paths
  • Context and evidence requirements
  • Tamper-evident decision records
  • Intervention and shutdown controls
  • Replay and policy simulation
  • Evaluation criteria and readiness findings
  • Production architecture recommendations

Engagement sequence

1. Qualify

Confirm use case, risk boundary, environment, and stakeholders

Output: Mutual-fit determination
2. Model

Map actions, actors, authority, policies, evidence, and outcomes

Output: Governed workflow specification
3. Sandbox

Integrate the workflow in a controlled environment

Output: Functional design-partner deployment
4. Evaluate

Simulate, replay, test interventions, and document gaps

Output: Production-readiness report

The engagement is structured — not exploratory consulting.

What the partner receives

  • Direct access to the product and security engineering team
  • A bounded implementation around an approved workflow
  • Architecture and policy-design support
  • Private deployment or controlled integration options
  • Priority access to relevant platform capabilities
  • Evaluation findings and production-readiness recommendations
  • Influence over requirements relevant to your deployment
  • Preferred transition terms if the engagement advances to production

What the partner contributes

  • A named executive or technical sponsor
  • Access to appropriate workflow owners
  • A bounded non-production use case
  • Timely architecture and policy feedback
  • Participation in scheduled implementation sessions
  • Agreement on success criteria
  • Permission to use anonymized findings — or a separately negotiated case study

Named logos, testimonials, case studies, and performance claims require separate written approval.

Security and confidentiality

Initial evaluation is designed to avoid production authority wherever possible. Deployment boundaries, data handling, network access, retention, subprocessors, and evidence requirements are established before integration. Confidential technical and intellectual-property materials may be exchanged under mutual NDA.

No production credentials required for initial sandboxing
Customer-controlled environment options
Least-privilege connector configuration
Explicit data-retention boundaries
Exportable decision and evidence records
Revocable integration credentials
Documented removal and disengagement procedure
Security review before any production transition

Commercial structure is determined after qualification based on deployment model, integration scope, support requirements, and evaluation period.

Bring one bounded workflow.

If your organization is preparing to give an AI system consequential authority, identify the first action that must be governed before it reaches production. We will evaluate whether DecisionHypervisor can establish the necessary authority, policy, evidence, intervention, and verification boundaries.

Applications are reviewed for technical fit, risk significance, deployment readiness, and availability of an internal sponsor. Submission does not create a commercial relationship or guarantee acceptance.
