KORUM Target Architecture: Decision Objects, VEIL, and the Governed Council Framework

Author: KORUM Systems Architecture

Key Executive Takeaways

KORUM-OS is engineered from the ground up as governance-first decision intelligence infrastructure. Rather than acting as a simple wrapper around LLM APIs, KORUM defines specialized architectural layers for decision integrity, sovereign data isolation, and continuous external sensing.

1. Core Runtime Primitives: Decision Objects & VEIL

The fundamental data primitive in KORUM-OS is the Decision Object—a structured, versioned state machine encapsulating premise registration, evidence citations, readiness scores, and cryptographic SHA-256 seals. VEIL provides sovereign execution boundaries, ensuring sensitive enterprise context is sanitized and governed before model dispatch.

2. Target Architecture Specifications: Boardroom Council

In target system specifications, the Boardroom coordinates specialized AI council seats—ranging from Finance and Technology to AI Governance and Legal. In planned platform releases, these seats deliberate in parallel, applying domain-specific evaluation rubrics to challenge unbacked claims before yielding a consensus verdict.

3. External Sensing Framework: Watchtower & Worldview

The Watchtower architectural specification defines continuous monitoring of external regulatory and market feeds to alert operators when external shifts invalidate active decision premises. Worldview specifies the target executive situational awareness interface for visualizing multi-domain risk boundaries.
