Idea
Governance layer reducing large language model risks by 37% with auditable, jurisdiction-aware behavioral controls.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents the Dynamic Behavioral Constraint benchmark and the MDBC system, a novel inference-time governance layer with 150 behavioral controls. Unlike training-based or post-hoc methods, it is model-agnostic, auditable, and jurisdiction-mappable, enabling causal attribution of risk reduction across multiple risk domains and adversarial scenarios.
Why It Matters
Large language models pose significant risks including hallucination, bias, and privacy breaches. This governance layer reduces these risks effectively at inference time without retraining, enabling safer AI deployment across industries. Its auditable and jurisdiction-mappable design supports regulatory compliance and scalable risk management.
Market Size (TAM)

Research Paper Overview
Design Behaviour Codes (DBCs): A Taxonomy-Driven Layered Governance Benchmark for Large Language Models
Summary
This paper introduces the Dynamic Behavioral Constraint (DBC) benchmark and the MDBC system, a structured 150-control governance layer applied at inference time to large language models. It offers model-agnostic, jurisdiction-mappable, and auditable behavioral governance that reduces risk exposure significantly compared to standard moderation. The framework evaluates risk across 30 domains using adversarial attacks and demonstrates improved compliance and adherence scores, validated by human judges and automated scoring.
