Govern Stage | Swarm Loop | Agentic Swarm

Apply policy, safety, cost, and approval checks.

What it is

Govern enforces the rules the swarm must respect. It can approve, block, or halt work, require human sign-off, and keep the whole system inside its safety, cost, and policy limits.

Why it matters

As agents get more capable, governance matters more, not less. It is what makes autonomy trustworthy enough to deploy on real work.

Example

Before any asset goes public, Govern requires a human to approve brand and compliance, and it halts the run if spend crosses the set budget.
