Solutions

Pick the governed workflow your team owns.

Each lane uses the same loop: identify the proposed side effect, test authority, route approved action, and keep proof.

Functions
Five packs
Code
Graph-backed
Proof
Receipt-backed

Build, operate, and govern through one control question.

Who is allowed to turn an AI proposal into a real side effect, and what evidence will prove the decision later?

See the architecture →
01 Founders / CTOs

Run founder work through ceilings, approvals, and receipts.

Problem
You want AI to draft and operate real business work, but money, code, messages, and customer actions still need ceilings and proof.
HELM role
HELM AI Individual applies P0 ceilings, approvals, governed actions, receipts, and short-retention evidence where implemented.

CURRENT Founder proof path

02 Platform Engineering

Give teams one governed execution boundary.

Problem
Teams expose tools, MCP servers, code agents, and connectors without one shared action check.
HELM role
HELM checks connector scope, sandbox grants, Code Intelligence Graph evidence, approvals, and receipts before dispatch.

CURRENT Platform proof path

Read platform lane →
03 Security

Fail closed before AI touches systems.

Problem
Bad or too-broad tool calls, code comments, and hostile tool outputs need action-level control, not just login control.
HELM role
HELM denies, escalates, or quarantines when policy, approval, connector scope, safety artifacts, or proof is missing.

CURRENT Security proof path

04 Operations

Run Night Shift with receipts as source truth.

Problem
The gap between the plan and real work is often found too late, and summaries can be mistaken for evidence.
HELM role
HELM surfaces TruthConflicts and DriftSignals, drafts source-backed GeneratedSpecs, and writes receipts and EvidencePacks as source truth.

GATED Operations proof path

05 Compliance

Review claims, receipts, and EvidencePacks together.

Problem
Logs often show what happened, but not why it was allowed or blocked.
HELM role
HELM binds action, policy, verdict, evidence, Claim Matrix status, and proof needs into reviewable records.

Action capability map

Pick the side effect before picking the lane.

The same HELM loop applies whether the buyer is finance, platform, security, compliance, or operations.

Business-function packs

Governed examples live inside existing solution lanes.

Each function names allowed reads, allowed writes, forbidden actions, approval thresholds, risk class, budget ceilings, receipts, rollback, and postconditions before work can run.

Engineering

Generate source-backed specs, open issues or PRs, require CodeImpact, affected tests, staging, rollback, and closure diff checks.

Support / refund

Draft replies, allow bounded refunds under policy, escalate high-risk cases, deny forbidden refunds.

Growth spend

Propose campaigns and spend, enforce P0 budget and audience ceilings, require approval and closure evidence.

Finance / admin

Propose invoices, vendor payments, procurement, or billing changes; execute only bounded low-risk actions.

Strategy

Read company state, create TruthConflicts, DriftSignals, ActionProposals, and GeneratedSpecs without executing side effects directly.

Every lane uses the same operating loop.

The surface changes by audience. The authority boundary does not.

Define proof terms
ProofGraph
A record chain that helps replay and check what happened.
EvidencePack
A small bundle of records used to verify one event or review path.
  1. 01

    Reads

    Company artifacts, connector context, approval state, policies, and action payloads.

  2. 02

    Finds

    Policy gaps, stale approvals, connector drift, missing proof, and work that no longer matches source intent.

  3. 03

    Drafts

    GeneratedSpecs and review tasks that name the evidence, risk, approval, and receipt needs.

  4. 04

    Runs

    Only actions that pass the HELM boundary before a connector or workflow dispatches.

  5. 05

    Proves

    Receipts, ProofGraph records, and EvidencePacks for later review.

  6. 06

    Refuses

    Model confidence, graph answers, search results, or prompt instructions as execution authority.

Truth posture

Use cases without borrowed credibility.

These pages explain where HELM fits and where it stops. They do not claim customers, assurance, pricing, or performance results that are not publicly backed.

Public evidence where public evidence exists Reviewed-access language for company-layer work Explicit refusal to treat drafts as authority
