Design Principles

Designed for governed cognition.

Interface is shaped by principles from cognitive ergonomics, human-centred AI, psychometrics and knowledge-work design.

Principles

These principles bridge the research foundations, trust architecture and product capabilities.

Principle

Ownership

People and organisations should retain meaningful control over their information, outputs and workflows.

Principle

Transparency

Inference processes should be inspectable: source, model, prompt, framework, output and evaluation.

Principle

Augmentation

AI should extend human capability while preserving judgement, interpretation and accountability.

Principle

Cognitive Ergonomics

Systems should reduce friction, support recall and help people work with complex information without losing orientation.

Open →
Principle

Confidence

Systems should help people establish confidence in information, inferences and decisions.

Open →
Principle

Portability

Users should be able to export, move and repurpose their information and derived artefacts.

Principle

Sovereignty

Organisations should be able to choose where inference happens, which models are used and who controls infrastructure.
