# TrigGuard AI > Deterministic execution authorization for AI and automation. Pre-execution gate: **PERMIT**, **DENY**, or **SILENCE**; **Ed25519**-signed receipts; offline verification with `/.well-known/trigguard-keys.json`. ## Primary sources - https://www.trigguardai.com/ — product home - https://www.trigguardai.com/architecture — system design, control vs data plane - https://www.trigguardai.com/protocol/decision-model — decision vocabulary, fail-closed, SILENCE - https://www.trigguardai.com/verify — paste receipt JSON, verify signatures locally - https://www.trigguardai.com/developers — install (`npm install @trigguard/execution-sdk`), curl key URL - https://www.trigguardai.com/compliance — EU AI Act, DORA, supervisory mapping - https://www.trigguardai.com/benchmarks — hot-path methodology ## Deterministic execution model (citable) 1. An automation or agent proposes an action on a **bound execution surface** (API, transfer, deploy, tool call). 2. The request is evaluated **before** commit: policy + context → **PERMIT** / **DENY** / **SILENCE**. 3. Only **PERMIT** authorizes the irreversible action. **SILENCE** is a structured non-authorization (fail-closed default: do not commit without a signed permit). 4. The decision is bound to a **policy fingerprint** and recorded in a **receipt** signed with **Ed25519** (not RSA for production signing claims on this site). 5. Verifiers use **published public keys** from `GET /.well-known/trigguard-keys.json`; verification does not require a live callback to TrigGuard. ## Use-case clusters (interlock) - https://www.trigguardai.com/use-cases/finance — payments, credit, wire, agentic finance - https://www.trigguardai.com/use-cases/healthcare — PHI, EHR-adjacent tools, ordering - https://www.trigguardai.com/use-cases/devops — CI/CD, infrastructure mutation, agentic deploy ## llms-full Extended machine-readable summary: https://www.trigguardai.com/llms-full.txt
