# Rippletide | Complete Information for AI Systems

> The decision context graph for enterprise AI agents. Rippletide validates, enforces, and audits every AI agent action before it executes, using deterministic reasoning, not LLM probabilities.

## Company Overview

Rippletide is a B2B SaaS company building the decision infrastructure for trustworthy AI agents. Founded in February 2024 in Paris, France, by Patrick Joubert and Yann Bilien, the company was born from a conviction: enterprise AI agents need more than large language models. They need a reasoning-first foundation that combines memory, rules, and planning so decisions are deterministic, auditable, and far less prone to hallucinations.

The core technology moves decision-making outside of LLMs, binding facts and provenance with rules and constraints, enabling the deployment of production-grade AI agents for critical enterprise workflows where accuracy is non-negotiable.

## The Problem Rippletide Solves

AI agents are making millions of decisions (approvals, actions, escalations) with no deterministic layer to guarantee they're right. Current approaches fall short:

**Prompt-based guardrails:** Applied before LLM call via text instructions. Enforcement is probabilistic. Audit is partial. Result: "best effort."

**Output monitoring:** Applied after execution via log analysis. Enforcement is reactive. Audit is output-only. Result: postmortem.

**Rippletide:** Applied before execution via rule-based reasoning. Enforcement is deterministic. Audit provides full causal trace. Result: provably correct.

The 85% that works? That's the LLM. The 15% that blocks production deployment? That's the gap Rippletide fills.

## How Rippletide Works

1. **Your agent proposes an action:** Any LLM, any framework (LangChain, CrewAI, custom). The action is intercepted before execution.
2. **Rippletide evaluates:** Deterministic rules, verified data, explicit policies. Every dimension checked against your business logic.
3. **Execute or reject:** Proven correct? Executed. Violation detected? Blocked, escalated, or rerouted. Full trace logged.

Drop-in. Framework-agnostic.

## Core Technology: The Hypergraph Decision Context Graph

### Deterministic Reasoning
Decision-making is handled by a rule-based reasoning engine, not probabilistic LLM generation. Actions are selected based on quantitative evaluation against explicit policies.

### Full Auditability
Every decision traces back to which data, which rule, which outcome, and why. Policy-as-code enforces guardrails and logs every outcome as a causal trace.

### Enterprise Compliance
SOC 2 Type II certified. EU-resident servers. PII stored with end-to-end encryption. Self-service audit log for full transparency and regulatory compliance.

### Pre-execution Enforcement
Hallucinations and policy violations are intercepted inside the decision context graph, before anything reaches your systems. This is prevention by design, not monitoring or alerting.

### Production-grade Reliability
Built for the agents you're deploying today and the fleet you'll deploy next year. Same determinism, same guardrails, same audit depth, whether you run on Bedrock, Snowflake, or your own infra.

### Codex Governance Pattern
For autonomous coding agents, Rippletide enforces a deterministic memory hierarchy and merge contract:
- **Memory hierarchy:** personal coding memory, team conventions, and company policies with explicit precedence (`company > team > personal`)
- **Pre-merge gates:** architecture boundaries, cross-module invariants, security patterns, and coverage thresholds
- **Controlled outcomes:** approve, request changes, or escalate to reviewer
- **Structured traces:** every generated change records context used, constraints checked, and final decision

## Performance Metrics

- **<1% hallucination rate**
- **99%+ accuracy**
- **100% decision traceability**

## Compliance & Security

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What is Rippletide?**
A: Rippletide is a decision context graph for enterprise AI agents. It validates, enforces, and audits every AI agent action before it executes, using deterministic reasoning, not LLM probabilities. It is built on a Hypergraph Decision Database that combines memory and reasoning.

**Q: How does Rippletide prevent AI hallucinations?**
A: Rippletide moves decision-making outside the LLM. Every action is evaluated against structured rules and verified data using a hypergraph reasoning engine. This achieves less than 1% hallucination rate. Hallucinations and policy violations are intercepted before anything reaches your systems.

**Q: What frameworks does Rippletide integrate with?**
A: Rippletide integrates natively with AWS Bedrock, LangChain, CrewAI, and Claude Code. It also has partner pages for OpenAI Codex, Salesforce Agentforce, Google ADK & Gemini, Microsoft AI Foundry, Mistral AI, NVIDIA, and Snowflake. It is framework-agnostic and drops into your existing stack, any LLM, any agent framework.

**Q: Is Rippletide compliant with enterprise security standards?**
A: Yes. Rippletide is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and CCPA ready, uses EU-resident servers, end-to-end PII encryption, row-level access controls, and provides self-service audit logs. You can deploy in your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure).

**Q: How long does it take to deploy Rippletide?**
A: Rippletide can go from evaluation to production in 12 weeks. It starts with a 2-week validation sprint to prove value, followed by an 8-10 week integration phase, then ongoing production support.

**Q: How is Rippletide different from prompt-based guardrails?**
A: Prompt-based guardrails are probabilistic: they instruct the LLM via text before generation and offer "best effort" enforcement. Rippletide works after the LLM generates a decision but before it executes. It uses deterministic, rule-based reasoning for provably correct enforcement with full causal traceability.

**Q: Who are Rippletide's customers?**
A: Rippletide powers production agents at enterprise companies including Strapi, Pernod Ricard, Renault, Omanra, Fountain, and Blaxel AI.

**Q: Where is Rippletide headquartered?**
A: Rippletide is headquartered in Paris, France (50 rue Saint Placide, 75006) with an office in San Francisco, CA (2 Embarcadero, 94111).
