Precision control for missions where intent can’t be lost.
Orders move from commanders and operators to planners, software and autonomous systems, and every handoff can bend what was meant. ADG Precision is exploring a control layer that reads the intent behind each instruction, checks it against authority, the latest picture and the rules that apply, and lets only authorized actions go ahead, with a person in charge of every consequential decision.
Operators & defense · Exploring
order: “Move the resupply convoy to depot B before 1800.”
intent: reroute · convoy C-12 · depot A → depot B · by 18:00
context: route 4 closed · depot B at capacity
decision: hold — route to the watch officer for approval
officer: approve via route 7, depot B overflow area
action: orders updated within authority · logged
Intent is lost at the handoffs.
Every relay between people, planning tools and autonomous systems is a chance for the meaning to drift. The layer checks it at each one.
Orders get reworded
Each relay paraphrases the instruction. What was meant has to be confirmed at every step, not assumed from the words.
Authority is part of the order
Who may order what, where and when travels with the instruction. An action outside that authority never runs.
Conditions change fast
The situation moves between the order and the action, so every change is checked against the latest picture before it runs.
The same control loop, applied to operations.
Whether an order comes from a commander, an operator, a planning tool or a model, it passes through the same loop before anything changes, and every result feeds the next decision.
Knowledge
What do we know about the situation?
The current picture: status, locations, readiness, constraints and who holds authority.
Intent
What outcome is wanted?
What the order is meant to achieve, its limits and its deadline, even when the words are brief.
Proposed action
What change could serve that goal?
One specific change, with the reason it fits the intent.
Governance
Is the change justified, within the rules, and authorized?
Checked against authority, the rules that apply and the current picture. Routine changes go ahead under standing orders; consequential ones wait for an authorized person, with the reason shown.
Execution
What actually changes?
Only the authorized change, re-checked at the moment it starts, carried out within limits and recorded.
Feedback
What happened?
Results update the picture, so the next order starts from where things really are.
Results feed the next decision
Built for the people who run critical operations.
Logistics & sustainment
Convoys, resupply and inventory moves that follow orders passed through several hands and systems.
Maintenance & readiness
Work orders and parts requests where the right asset, priority and approval matter.
Planning & command software
Tools and agents that turn an order into tasks, each checked against the intent and authority behind it.
Critical infrastructure operators
Grid, telecom, water and emergency operators, where an automated change must stay within procedures.
Proven first where mistakes cost money.
We run this discipline in production today for Google Ads: every change is prepared, approved outside the AI session and applied once, with a full audit trail. Operators and defense teams need the same approach where mistakes cost far more.
