Phinq
Execution-time governance

Infrastructure thatdecides, not asks

Phinq blocks irreversible actions before they execute.Silent enforcement at permission boundaries.

Principle

Deterministic rules

Outcome

Binary decisions

Friction

Zero prompts

The problem

Systems fail because humans can execute irreversible actions at the worst possible moment.

Delete production database

When exhausted

Force-push over main

When rushing

Wire six figures incorrectly

When distracted

Traditional safeguards rely on confirmation prompts. But prompts don't work—people click through them in exactly the states where judgment is compromised.

Phinq doesn't ask. It decides.

Binary decision

Silent evaluation

When you attempt an irreversible action, Phinq evaluates your recent behavioral signals against a deterministic ruleset. If instability patterns are detected, the action is blocked. If not, it proceeds instantly.

No friction

The block is silent. No explanation. No appeal. No friction on safe operations.

One-way valve

Exit actions—closing positions, saving work, reducing exposure—are always allowed. Phinq enforces a one-way valve: you can always de-risk, never escalate.

What Phinq is not

Authority, not advice

Not a copilot

Phinq doesn't give advice or suggest alternatives. It enforces boundaries.

Not a prompt

There are no "Are you sure?" dialogs. Phinq blocks at the system level or allows instantly.

Not post-hoc analysis

Dashboards and journals analyze what already happened. Phinq intervenes before execution.

Not emotional inference

Phinq detects instability patterns in action sequences and timing. It does not analyze sentiment.

Most safety systems try to influence behavior.
Phinq controls execution.

Integration

Thin harness, powerful enforcement

Developers integrate Phinq by writing a lightweight harness around protected operations. The harness forwards behavioral signals to Phinq's governance core and enforces its verdict.

Your system enforces verdict

No UI required. No user-facing messaging. Silent by default.

Validation

Tested across real systems

Phinq has been validated in multiple production-grade environments. Each integration proved the same principle: execution-time authority prevents entire classes of mistakes that confirmation prompts cannot.

Built for developers

Infrastructure for high-stakes systems

If your users can execute operations that cannot be undone, Phinq applies. Trading platforms. Admin panels. Deployment tools. Financial software. Internal tooling. Anywhere irreversible actions exist.
