Governance Components

Components that make AI systems transparent, controllable, and accountable. These are the RAD core — each one addresses a specific failure mode that occurs when humans lose meaningful oversight of AI.

Enabling Components

Components that make AI systems legible and usable. Legibility is a prerequisite for governance — users cannot oversee what they cannot understand. These components are part of the RAD system because governance without usable infrastructure is theater.

Foundation

7 components

Essential AI UI infrastructure required for any AI interface. These components are not RAD governance components — they are the plumbing that RAD governance components sit on top of.

Capability Discovery

4 components

Surfacing what an AI can do is itself a disclosure act. Users cannot meaningfully consent to or oversee an agent whose capabilities are opaque. Suggested prompts and task builders make the system's scope legible before the user commits to anything — which puts Capability Discovery inside the RAD mission.

Agent Activity

5 components

Context Management
