A circuit breaker for
irreversible actions.
ALLOW or DENY. Nothing else.
Phinq is infrastructure that decides whether an action is permitted right now — silently, in real time, with zero interaction.
What Phinq is
Execution governance infrastructure.
Silent
No prompts. No dialogs. It enforces.
Headless
No UI. Runs as infrastructure.
Deterministic
ALLOW or DENY. Nothing else.
Not a dashboard. Not a coach. Not an AI assistant. Not a GPT wrapper.
How it works
Four stages. No interaction required.
Observe
Listens to action streams. Timing, velocity, reversals.
Detect
Composite signals. No single signal can trigger a block.
Classify
Reversible or irreversible. Risk-reducing actions always pass.
Decide
Elevated instability + irreversible = DENY. Otherwise, ALLOW.

In practice
Two outcomes. Zero ambiguity.
Same developer. Same repository. Different context.
Example domains
Domain-agnostic by design.
The same engine. Different action streams.
Trading
Regular order size during normal hours.
Sudden size escalation after consecutive losses at 2am.
GitHub
Push to a feature branch after review.
Force-push to main after a long session.
Google Drive
Delete a single file you created today.
Bulk-delete a shared folder after rapid context switches.
Why this matters now
AI compresses decision-to-action to seconds.
The blast radius of a single mistake is larger than ever.
Humans remain human.
Execution will only get faster. Mistakes will only get more expensive.
