ENTERPRISE EXTENSIONCOMING SOON

Chazwazza

The enterprise extension of the Agent Excellence Framework. Multi-agent orchestration, EGO identity tracking, PNEUMA output validation, and the full Trinity governance stack.

Multi-Agent Teams

Orchestrate entire development teams

EGO Identity

Named agents with persistent tracking

PNEUMA Validation

Output verification before delivery

The Trinity

HUMAN → EGO → PNEUMA governance

GOVERNANCE MODEL

The Trinity: HUMAN → EGO → PNEUMA

HUMAN

Heuristics for User Machine Alignment Navigation

Input & Interpretation

Natural language commands that bridge human intent and machine execution. 35+ commands, zero developer knowledge required.

EGO

Executive Governance Observer

Identity & Accountability

Every agent gets a name, a history, and a performance record. Named agents are accountable agents.

PNEUMA

Post-generation Narrative Expression Uncertainty Mitigation Audit

Output & Verification

Scans output for linguistic tells — 'should', 'probably', 'might'. Verified claims only. Never presents assumption as fact.

HUMAN PROTOCOL

Natural Language Commands

Heuristics for User Machine Alignment Navigation — No developer knowledge required. Just speak naturally.
