The Anchoring Instrument

A collaborative workspace that operationalizes the practice of pre-runtime agent behavior design.

What It Does

The Anchoring Instrument guides cross-functional teams through pre-runtime agent behavior design. It structures the work from workflow objective to implementation-ready specification.

Specification Building

Systematically work through each component: objectives, decisions, directives, boundaries, escalation, refusal conditions, and accountability.

Cross-functional Collaboration

Bring together product, engineering, design, operations, risk, and domain experts in a structured workspace.

Artifact Generation

Produce an approved Agent Behavior Specification that engineering can implement against.

The Anchoring Instrument is currently in private preview.

Access is available to select teams and institutions working on consequential workflows.
