Explicit Decision Logic
Evidence requirements, approval rules, and exceptions are made explicit instead of being left to a model prompt.
About Rippletide
We make business judgment executable for AI agents.
Rippletide turns company knowledge into reviewed rules, applies them to current facts, and explains decisions before actions take effect.

Our Story
From neuro-symbolic research to enterprise infrastructure
Founded in February 2024 by Patrick Joubert and Yann Bilien, Rippletide was born from a conviction: enterprise AI agents need more than capable models. They need an explicit boundary between an action the model proposes and an action the business is ready to approve.
The Action Runtime applies approved business rules to proposed agent actions in production, with a reason and supporting evidence for each decision. The 10-Day Proof is a way to start: evaluate one important action without changing production, then scope its production activation separately.

How the research becomes operational
Rippletide keeps evidence and decision logic outside the prompt so teams can inspect what an agent would be allowed to do and why.
Reviewable Traces
Each decision preview shows which data and rule produced an allow, escalate, or block outcome, with the reason attached.
Enterprise Compliance
SOC 2 audit in progress. EU data residency available. No training on customer data. Audit-ready decision traces for enterprise security review.
