Decisions before action
How decisions are made with limited or contested information before they reach a physical system.
Terminus Est Lab
Research behind the work.
Terminus Est Lab produces research into the implementation of AI in military and first responder organizations worldwide, and in the defense industrial base and supply chains that support them. That research informs our advisory work across three areas.

Lab focus areas, framed by Terminus Edge.
Each Lab focus area looks at one part of the path from AI decision to physical action. Most of this work is in development; status labels on each project say exactly what exists today.
Rehearse the handoff
Testing scenarios that involve drones, robotics, and autonomous systems before anything moves in the real world. In development.
Trace what drove the action
Checking and tracing AI recommendations so the people accountable can review them. In development.
Keep control at the edge
Owned, on-premises AI so decision support keeps working where physical systems operate.
Research areas
Where the Lab is focused.
Decision Modeling
Model analysis, especially open source and sovereign AI, for complex environments where information is limited, uncertain, or contested, so decisions can be analyzed and improved.
Wargaming and Simulation
Using simulation and structured wargaming to explore scenarios and test decisions before they are made.
Verifiable AI
Methods for checking and tracing AI recommendations so they can be reviewed with confidence.
