Control the action. *Prove the decision.* Praxis shows what your policy evidence supports and prepares a reviewed response. Aegis independently verifies active authority before governed agent actions can take effect. One chain, with a clear place to start.

Inspect evidence against the assigned baseline. See gaps, uncertainty and the response requiring human review. [Explore policy assurance](https://spqrtech.ai/praxis/) 02 ### An agent can act? Identify the permission decision, the enforcement point and the evidence around one consequential action. [Explore runtime authority](https://spqrtech.ai/aegis/) 03 ### Want to test the claim? Keep existing safeguards. Compare the boundary in an isolated test that counts useful work and failures.

It should never need to invent that authority itself. **Assess**Understand what the organisation's evidence actually supports. **Agree**Turn gaps into an approved, reviewable response. **Enforce**Put approved authority in the execution path. Two products. One journey. ## Establish it with Praxis. *Enforce it with Aegis.* Enter through the problem you have today: uncertain policy authority or uncontrolled runtime action. [Image: Praxis transforms an assessment gap into practical remediation recommendations] Praxis Policy Assurance ### Know what your policies actually prove. Assess organisational evidence against the assigned regulatory baseline, inspect the findings, and turn unresolved obligations into an agreed remediation plan. **Assessment**Evidence-bound findings **Remediation**Practical first pass **Agreement**Consultant + client review [Explore Praxis Policy Assurance](https://spqrtech.ai/praxis/) [Image: Illustrative Aegis decision console showing sample allow, escalate and deny states; not live telemetry.] Aegis Runtime Governance ### Run AI under law, not whim. Independently verify what an agent is allowed to do before it touches a tool, workflow, API or record; and preserve the receipt. **Verify**Signed active authority **Decide**Allow, deny, escalate **Prove**Per-action receipts [Explore Aegis Runtime Governance](https://spqrtech.ai/aegis/) See Praxis in action ## From policy evidence to an *agreed response.* The complete Policy Assurance journey: assessment, report, remediation, client collaboration and agreement.

[Meet SPQR Technologies](https://spqrtech.ai/company/)[Explore the research](https://spqrtech.ai/research/) SPQR Research ## Research behind the *control plane.* Public technical and jurisprudential work on runtime governance, constitutional AI, verifiable policy enforcement and governed agent improvement. Selected public work**From constitutional doctrine to action-boundary control.** Read the papers that explain the ideas behind Praxis, Aegis and the broader SPQR architecture. [Explore SPQR Research](https://spqrtech.ai/research/) Questions before the call ## The useful distinctions. What is the difference between Praxis and Aegis? Praxis supports policy assessment, evidence review and remediation. Aegis makes independent runtime authority decisions for governed actions. An integrated enforcement point must apply the decision before an effect occurs. Do we have to buy or deploy both? No. Start with the problem you have. A policy assessment is not an automatic commitment to runtime deployment. An Aegis discussion starts with a real workflow and its existing controls. What happens in the first conversation? Bring a policy-assurance task or one consequential workflow. The first conversation is a fit-and-scope review, not a production integration or an enterprise purchasing commitment. One clear next step ## One problem. *One useful next step.* Choose a policy scope discussion, an authority review or a research methods conversation. No need to begin with the whole platform. [Choose your conversation](https://spqrtech.ai/contact/)[See Brake Pedal](https://spqrtech.ai/brake/) One workflow. Defined scope. A decision about fit.
