Decision Gate Docs

Deterministic, replayable gate evaluation with auditable decisions.

Core Model

Decision Gate is a deterministic control plane. It does not run conversations or agents. It ingests triggers, evaluates evidence-backed predicates, and emits auditable decisions.

ScenarioSpec

A scenario is the unit of execution. The ScenarioSpec captures:

  • scenario_id: stable identifier used across runs
  • spec_version: contract version
  • stages: ordered phases with gates and advance policies
  • predicates: named evidence checks used by gates
  • policies + schemas: optional governance and payload constraints

StageSpec

Stages control progression. Each stage defines:

  • gates: one or more GateSpecs to evaluate
  • advance_to: linear, fixed, branch, or terminal
  • entry_packets: optional disclosures emitted on entry
  • timeout + on_timeout: deterministic failure policy

GateSpec

Gates contain a requirement tree. A gate passes only when the requirement evaluates to true.

Requirement Evaluation Trees (RET) are the predicate algebra. They support AND / OR / NOT / groups and are deterministic by construction. See RET logic for operators and tri-state evaluation.

PredicateSpec and Evidence

Predicates bind a requirement leaf to an evidence query and comparator.

  • EvidenceQuery: provider_id, predicate, params
  • EvidenceResult: value, hash, anchor, signature metadata

RET defines how predicates compose. Providers define what a predicate means and which parameters it accepts.

Why this matters

  • Every decision is reproducible from the spec + evidence inputs.
  • Gates can be audited and verified offline.
  • Providers are pluggable without changing scenario semantics.
