From Abstract Threats to Quantifiable Risk

Corvair.ai provides a mathematical foundation for AI governance, moving you beyond qualitative, subjective risk assessments. We introduce a new vocabulary for risk that allows you to measure, manage, and reduce your AI threat surface with engineering precision.

What is the Agent's Blast Radius?

An agent's true power isn't its static permissions; it's the Cumulative Operational Authority it can assemble at runtime. We call this total potential impact the Blast Radius.

Our platform is the first to programmatically calculate this metric, giving you a concrete, auditable, and machine-verifiable measure of an agent's potential for harm. We calculate multiple variants:

  • Static Blast Radius: The agent's total scope before any runtime invocation.
  • Dynamic Blast Radius: The actual, expanded scope during a specific session, including delegated authority.
  • Maximum Potential Blast Radius: The theoretical upper bound of risk, accounting for all possible permission delegations.

By simulating the Blast Radius of a proposed change, you can understand its true impact before you ever commit code.

Eliminating Operational Waste (Muda)

Inspired by the principles of Lean Six Sigma, our platform characterizes agent risk as a form of operational waste ("Muda")—quantifiable excess that can be systematically eliminated.

Permission Waste

The excess authority granted to an agent beyond what is strictly necessary for its declared mission. We calculate this as the difference between the agent's Maximum Potential Blast Radius and the permissions it actually needs. A high score is a direct measure of an unnecessarily broad attack surface.

Capability Waste

The latent risk of an agent's unused inherent capabilities. Why does a simple data-retrieval agent have the built-in ability to execute code? This metric identifies and quantifies that unnecessary risk.

Exposure Waste

The risk of overly broad invocation policies. This metric quantifies the risk of allowing an agent to be invoked from any network zone when its mission only requires one, for example.

Defect Waste

The operational unreliability of an agent. This metric is calculated from the historical rate of runtime errors, policy violations, or mission failures, turning an agent's performance into a quantifiable risk signal.

Shift Left with Confidence

These quantifiable metrics are the engine of our CI/CD Governance Gate, allowing you to mistake-proof your development pipeline and prevent risk from ever reaching production.
