02The Problem & Impact

Production Failure Modes Addressed

⚠️ The Unaddressed Failure Mode

System prompts fail to reliably suppress hallucinatory outputs when processing technical or compliance documentation.

⚡ Why Brittle Retries Fail

Adding redundant 'do not make things up' statements to prompts which burns tokens without ensuring compliance.

💎 The Deterministic Resolution

Halcyon evaluates generated output against source retrieval context using strict natural language inference (NLI) sentence entailment. Any sentence lacking explicit attribution or entity grounding is pruned or flagged before reaching downstream APIs.

Enterprise Runtime Specifications & SLA

Zero Data Retention (ZDR) Architecture

Operates strictly in-memory. Prompts and tool arguments are zeroized immediately following circuit evaluation.

VPC & Google Cloud Run Topologies

Deployable as an ephemeral sidecar, containerized Cloud Run microservice, or in-process Python/TS library.

Deterministic Circuit Breaker SLA

99.95% production uptime commitment with automatic graceful degradation on upstream LLM provider outages.

Open-Spec Code Ownership

Full Apache-2.0 core licensing. You maintain absolute ownership of your deployed infrastructure and workflows.

05Verification & Telemetry

Production Benchmark Telemetry

Empirical test telemetry from continuous integration regression suites.
