AEGIS Advisor
A browser questionnaire that turns plain-language answers into an AEGIS evaluation request. The hosted API is offline, so it does not return a governance decision.
Status: the AEGIS Advisor is a questionnaire. Its final step sends your answers to the hosted AEGIS API, which is offline (see undercurrentholdings.com/status), so it returns an error, not a governance decision.
What it is
The AEGIS Advisor is an 8-step browser questionnaire. It asks plain-language factual questions about a decision (what domain, what's changing, what the baseline looks like, how much is at stake) and translates the answers into the parameters that the six AEGIS gates consume. The review screen shows the resulting request as raw JSON.
Its final step posts that request to the hosted API (/sandbox/evaluate with the demo key, /evaluate with your own key). That API is offline.
How the questions map to the six gates
The wizard collects answers across 8 steps:
| Step | Question theme | Derived parameter(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Domain selection (Investment, Hiring, Engineering, Content, Operations, Other) | Domain-specific parameter templates and default thresholds |
| 2 | Proposal summary (free-text one-liner) | proposal_summary |
| 3 | Blast radius / scope of affected systems | complexity_score baseline, estimated_impact |
| 4 | Current baseline risk (plain-language: low / medium / high) | risk_baseline |
| 5 | Proposed risk after the change | risk_proposed, drives Risk gate |
| 6 | Expected benefit / profit proxy | profit_baseline, profit_proposed, drives Profit gate |
| 7 | Novelty / how different this is from prior decisions | novelty_score, drives Novelty gate |
| 8 | Quality confidence / evidence level | quality_score, drives Quality gate |
The Utility gate is computed from the combined risk/profit deltas; you don't answer a direct question for it. The Complexity gate uses the scope answer (step 3) plus a safety floor that can never be overridden.
What the hosted API returned (when it ran)
A decision object with a status (proceed, pause, halt, or escalate), a confidence value, a per-gate breakdown against thresholds, a rationale, and next steps. The sandbox path did not persist the result to a customer account.
Privacy
- The questionnaire runs in your browser. Nothing is sent until you click "Evaluate".
- "Evaluate" sends your answers to the hosted AEGIS API, which is offline.
- An API key you paste is kept in this tab's
sessionStorageand sent only in that request'sAuthorizationheader.
