Decision Terrain Resource Center

AI platform guides.
Tools for your next decision.

Explore how to connect, evaluate, and operate AI systems. Find DT platform capabilities, browser-only planning tools, and technical guides, including detailed guidance for defense, intelligence, and air-gapped environments.

DT platform capabilities

Understand how DT fits your systems.

Start with the product details, then use the guides and planning tools below to frame the work, assess the evidence, and prepare your implementation.

Platform overview

Connect and build

Explore how DT uses internal APIs and MCP tools, and how your applications can work with DT’s persistent agents.

Explore integrations and APIs

Platform overview

Choose a deployment

Compare running DT on your hardware, in your cloud account, or air-gapped. Establish where models, data, and execution operate.

Review deployment options

Platform overview

Evaluate the controls

Examine identity, tool access, action-specific approvals, and available audit evidence for the proposed configuration.

Review security and governance

Browser-only planning tools

Structure the question before the commitment grows.

Each tool runs in your browser without submitting your answers. The five checklists save drafts on this device; the worksheets do not save entries. Keep all inputs unclassified and non-sensitive.

How to use the library

Frame. Compare. Test. Decide.

Start with the uncertainty that matters. Use the matching tool to organize it and a guide to examine the assumptions. Your team can lead implementation, with optional DT engineering and supportavailable where you need additional expertise.

01

Frame

State the mission decision, user, constraints, and consequence of being wrong.

02

Compare

Make criteria and tradeoffs explicit before a product or approach becomes the default.

03

Test

Design the smallest credible experiment that can answer the central question.

04

Decide

Use the evidence to advance, revise, gather more information, or stop.
