Generative AI Engineering & Assurance

Generative AI, governed by TERA.

TeraSystemsAI integrates generative AI into workflows where evidence, human authority, reliability, and accountability matter. The model is a capability inside the system, not the authority over it.

The TERA operating model

TERA is the system boundary.

TERA is not a decorative label. It defines how generative AI is selected, constrained, evaluated, deployed, and reviewed.

T

Trustworthiness

Separate generated interpretation from attributable support and keep weak evidence visible.

BRAG · provenance · uncertainty · abstention
E

Efficiency

Use the smallest appropriate model, context, and automation level for the task.

fit-for-purpose models · controlled context · cost discipline
R

Reliability

Define failure behavior early and preserve continuity when the model, provider, or evidence fails.

versioning · regression tests · fallback · recovery
A

Accountability

Keep consequential authority explicit and retain the records needed to reconstruct material actions.

human authority · policy gates · audit events · release records
TERA architecture

Human-capable baseline. AI augmentation. Evidence gate. Authority.

Capable Without AI, Stronger With It is implemented as a system rule. Essential evidence and authority do not disappear when generative AI is added.

01 · Baseline

Human-Capable System

Original evidence remains accessible, critical actions remain explicit, and fallback behavior is defined.

02 · Assist

Generative AI

The selected model drafts, summarizes, extracts, compares, codes, or interprets within a defined task boundary.

03 · Evidence

BRAG

Bayesian Retrieval-Augmented Generation is the TeraSystemsAI research foundation for evidence-sensitive retrieval, uncertainty, and abstention.

04 · Authority

Review & Record

Policy gates determine whether the output proceeds, abstains, escalates, or requires authorized human action.

Supported Partially Supported Conflicting Evidence Insufficient Evidence Generated · Not Evidence-Backed
BRAG is a research foundation for the evidence layer. Not every generative workflow requires retrieval.
Defined product boundary

A governed integration layer, not a frontier-model claim.

TERA Generative AI can work with appropriate commercial, open-weight, local, or specialized models. Model choice remains an engineering decision governed by security, privacy, evidence, reliability, cost, and task requirements.

Deployment Profile B

Supervised Automation

AI may prepare an action, but consequential authority remains separately defined. Review, abstention, or escalation can be required according to the workflow.

  • Evidence and limitations are visible where applicable.
  • Policy gates determine whether the workflow can proceed.
  • Authorized people or institutions retain defined approval and release authority.
  • Material model, control, and review events can be recorded.
