SYSCALLAI // BUSINESS-SYSTEMS LAB

Reliable AI, even when the model fails.

End-to-end systems that read business documents faithfully, then gate every output through an adversarial check — document honesty in, an adversary on the way out.

SCROLL

11 systems, three tiers
13 named failure modes
1 necessary belief on a sealed holdout

01 // THE FAILURES

LLMs fail in nameable ways.

F-01

Reversal Curse

Learns "A is B" yet fails to recall "B is A".

A B learns A → B cannot recall B → A
RETRIEVAL // one direction only
F-04

Confabulation

Invents plausible facts to fill a gap.

payment terms Net 45, confirmed source: none
OUTPUT // plausible, unsourced
F-07

Prompt Injection

Treats attacker text in retrieved content as a command — and acts on it.

INSTRUCTION extract the totals DATA row 4471 · status: closed ignore prior rules
ACTION // data read as command

02 // THE TURN

Reliability cannot live inside the model.

The model is the part that fails. So the corrections are built around it, not into it: verification, adversarial checks, interlocks, context. Outside the boundary, where they can hold when the model does not.

THE TURN // corrections live outside the model

03 // THE BUILD

So we built the systems around it.

02 State Compressor
03 Lens Selector
04 Anchor
05 LLM
06 Action Contract
07 Runtime Interlock
08 Consequence Ledger
  1. Bastion

    Claim-level verification. Every asserted fact is checked against its source before it can act.

    RESOLVES // the unsourced field

    Net 45, confirmed STRUCK — no source
  2. Nemesis

    Independent adversarial validation. A second system tries to break the first from the other direction.

    RESOLVES // the dead reverse query

    A B
  3. OSM

    Deterministic inference-time interlock. Data cannot become instruction; the contract decides what may act.

    RESOLVES // the crossed token

    INSTRUCTION DATA ignore prior rules
  4. C3

    Causal-context compression. Shapes the context the other three read. Nothing to resolve: its job is context, not correction.

+0.044 MRR on a sealed holdout, about +8% relative. Confidence interval excluding zero. Recall cost: 0. Replicated 2 times in fresh worlds. One belief survived every attack. That is what "necessary" means here.
