Coherence workflow with CRE positioned between AI generation and reliability-enhanced output

How Coherence Works

Generate naturally.Govern reliability independently.

Coherence preserves the useful work AI can do while giving CRE a separate job: control what may move from a fluent candidate into reliability-enhanced output.

The short version

Generate → CRE governs → repair or release.

Models and tools remain powerful contributors. They do not award themselves a reliability verdict. CRE applies a deterministic control path around the preserved candidate.

01 / Intelligent workflow

Generate and gather candidate material

AI, search, documents, tools, and user input contribute to the work.

02 / CRE

Control admissibility and repair

The Coherence Reliability Engine determines whether the candidate can pass, must change, or requires specific outside input.

03 / Outcome

Release, repair, request, or withhold

The user receives the cleared output or a precise, visible limitation—never an invisible reliability downgrade.

The product workflow

Seven bounded stages. One final gate.

The public workflow explains the responsibility of each stage without disclosing CRE’s proprietary adjudication mechanics.

01 / Generate

Create the candidate.

The selected model responds naturally to the user’s request.

02 / Preserve

Keep the real turn.

The prompt and exact candidate are preserved before reliability processing changes anything.

03 / Observe

Map what was asked and said.

Independently scoped model roles may supply typed observations, never the verdict.

04 / Adjudicate

Apply CRE control.

CRE evaluates the candidate against the available scope, authority, evidence, and structural obligations.

05 / Repair or ask

Continue lawfully.

CRE may constrain automatic repair or request the specific outside input a lawful continuation requires.

06 / Re-adjudicate

Check the replacement again.

A repaired candidate receives a fresh reliability pass. Better wording alone does not clear it.

07 / Release

Present the cleared output.

The reliability-enhanced response crosses the final gate with its decision path preserved.

What “fail closed” means

A closed path is not automatically a refusal.

Failing closed means an unresolved candidate cannot quietly become the final response. CRE still prefers the least disruptive lawful outcome.

Pass

Preserve sound work.

If CRE finds no intervention is required, the candidate can pass without needless friction.

Repair

Remove or bound the defect.

CRE supplies typed constraints and requires the replacement to be checked again.

Request

Ask for what is truly missing.

Guided Repair requests a source, authority, clarification, document, or judgment only when the work cannot lawfully continue without it.

Withhold or halt

Keep unresolved output contained.

If repair and outside input cannot close the condition, the candidate remains outside the release path.

Intelligence around CRE

A complete workflow, not a single-model trick.

Coherence may use independently scoped models, advanced search, documents, and specialist tools around a preserved candidate. Those systems contribute observations and candidate evidence; CRE retains decision authority.
