Decision Assurance Infrastructure
Summit Cognitive
§ Platform / Formal Verification

Verify the coordination. Then deploy the agents.

Multi-agent systems fail in ways no test suite finds: deadlocks that need a precise interleaving, messages stranded in channels, two agents holding one resource. Summit model-checks the coordination itself — exhaustively, before production ever sees it.

§ 01

From topology to theorem

You describe the agent topology — roles, channels, handoffs, shared resources. The engine transpiles it to TLA+/PlusCal and model-checks the result across every reachable state, not just the ones your tests happened to visit.

Property

Deadlock freedom

No reachable state exists in which agents wait on each other forever. Checked exhaustively, not sampled.
Property

Mutual exclusion

Resources declared exclusive are provably never held by two agents at once — under any interleaving the model permits.
Property

Channel drainage

Every message sent is eventually consumed. No work silently stranded in a queue when the system claims to be done.
Property

Behavioral contracts

Agents honor their declared protocols — orderings, preconditions, response obligations — verified against the specification, not the documentation.
§ 02

A certificate, not a claim

A verification run that ends in a green checkmark is an assertion. A verification run that ends in a machine-checkable certificate is evidence — re-checkable by your team, your accreditor, or your adversary's auditor.

  • Machine-checkable certificates. Each run emits a certificate binding the verified properties to the exact topology and specification checked — re-verifiable without trusting the original run.
  • Counterexamples, not shrugs. When a property fails, you get the precise trace that violates it — the interleaving, the state, the step — turned into a fix instead of a production incident.
  • Part of the release gate. Certificates feed the same evidence chain as receipts and policy verdicts. Coordination changes re-verify before they ship.

§ 03

The engine is held to its own standard

A verification engine you cannot trust verifies nothing. Ours is tested the way it asks your systems to be tested.

1,100+
tests behind the engine
Property-based
fuzzing of the transpiler
TLA+
industry-standard formalism

Property-based fuzzing generates adversarial topologies the authors never imagined and checks that transpilation preserves semantics on every one. The formalism is TLA+ — the same method used to verify the distributed systems your infrastructure already runs on — so the certificates rest on decades of established model-checking practice, not a proprietary oracle.

Prove the system before it runs.

If your mission requires multi-agent autonomy, it requires evidence the coordination is sound. Verification certificates slot directly into ATO evidence packages and accreditation reviews.
