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
Choose a deployment
Compare customer-hosted, DT-hosted, and air-gapped arrangements. Establish where models, data, and execution operate.
Review deployment optionsPlatform overview
Evaluate the controls
Examine identity, tool access, action-specific approvals, and available audit evidence for the proposed configuration.
Review security and governanceBrowser-only planning tools
Structure the question before the commitment grows.
Each tool runs in your browser without submitting your answers. AI Facts saves a draft on this device; the other worksheets do not save entries. Keep all inputs unclassified and non-sensitive.

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 consulting and engineeringavailable where you need additional expertise.
Frame
State the mission decision, user, constraints, and consequence of being wrong.
Compare
Make criteria and tradeoffs explicit before a product or approach becomes the default.
Test
Design the smallest credible experiment that can answer the central question.
Decide
Use the evidence to advance, revise, gather more information, or stop.
