Product: Strategic Decision Engine (SDE)

darkelogix.ai is the self-serve release site for governance adapters. OpenClaw Trusted Mode is the first production release. Codex Trusted Mode is the next adapter, with the same split: useful standalone hardening first, SDE-backed governance second.

Licensing: adapter layers such as openclaw-trusted-mode and codex-trusted-mode are MIT-licensed, while the SDE PDP runtime and hardened deployment assets are proprietary and licensed separately.

Signed Policy Packs
