FactorGuide

Decision intelligence for AI agents. Send a coupling matrix — get zone classifications, optimal factorization strategy, and calibrated risk predictions.

Every system with interacting variables has a coupling structure. When an agent simplifies that system by treating variables as independent, it pays an information cost. FactorGuide quantifies that cost exactly.

Quick Start

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

FactorGuide is listed on the Official MCP Registry. Any MCP-compatible agent discovers tools automatically:

Example

Send a 3×3 correlation matrix:

{
  "coupling": {
    "covariance_matrix": [
      [1.00, 0.72, 0.05],
      [0.72, 1.00, 0.48],
      [0.05, 0.48, 1.00]
    ]
  },
  "sample_size": 500,
  "model_class": "constitutive"
}

Get back zone classifications:

• Zone 1: Safe to factorize. Coupling below threshold.

• Zone 2: Depends on functional role. Same IC, opposite recommendations for constitutive vs. inductive coupling.

• Zone 3: Must preserve. Coupling is load-bearing regardless of model class.

Pricing

Payment: USDC on Base via x402 or MPP. report_outcome is always free.

Data Privacy

FactorGuide accepts only second-order summary statistics — covariance, precision, correlation matrices, or edge lists. No raw observations. Matrices are zeroed after IC computation.

Theoretical Foundation

Built on Circulatory Fidelity, a mathematical framework where IC (Inference Coupling) measures the partial correlation between variables. The cost function V(IC) gives the exact mutual information destroyed by severing a coupling. Risk curves are calibrated on 49,000+ validated datapoints.

Every prediction is falsifiable. When agents report outcomes, the flywheel refines future predictions.
