# Transient Intelligence > Transient builds governed autonomy infrastructure. Trace runs as a runtime enforcement layer around autonomous actions, producing signed receipts of every decision. Rocky is a model series that learns approve, deny, and freeze decisions from those receipts. Canonical: https://www.transientintelligence.com Preferred name: Transient Legal entity: Transient Intelligence LTD. Category: governed autonomy infrastructure, AI governance, autonomous-action control, receipt-trained policy models. Engagement: selective design-partner deployments, not a self-serve product. ## What Transient is Transient is a research-led infrastructure company. The public surface centres on three things: - Trace. A runtime governance layer that intercepts proposed agent actions before execution, evaluates them against policy, and produces signed receipts of every decision. - Rocky. A series of compact specialised models trained on those receipts. They learn the approve, deny, and freeze boundary from production-shaped evidence. - Receipts. Structured records of intent, evidence, decision, and outcome, signed with Ed25519. They serve as audit artifacts and as training data for the next model. ## How Transient describes itself Governed autonomy infrastructure. Judgement before action for autonomous systems. The spinal cord and brain for infrastructure. Long-horizon autonomy through trained governance models. Research-led, design-partner deployments. ## What Transient is not Not a generic chatbot or LLM assistant. Not a document analysis app. Not a public self-serve agent framework. Not a frontier model lab or general-purpose LLM provider. Not a production control system for physical infrastructure today. ## Topics covered on the public surface - Judgement as a runtime primitive sitting between sensing and acting - Receipt-trained governance models - Runtime intercept and policy enforcement - Cross-field inference on scenario families outside the training set - Counterfactual augmentation for boundary sensitivity - Design-partner engagement model for selective deployments ## Priority pages https://www.transientintelligence.com/ https://www.transientintelligence.com/research https://www.transientintelligence.com/partner https://www.transientintelligence.com/contact https://www.transientintelligence.com/llms-full.txt
