# Forge Orbital Inc. > AI accountability that grows into governance. Forge Orbital is an accountability engine for AI agents: deterministic software that evaluates quality, optimizes cost and governs consequential AI decisions, and leaves a record of every one. There is no generative model in the decision path and no cross-customer training. The customer retains policy, data, escalation and execution authority. Designed for on-prem delivery. Category: AI accountability (accountability engine) Problem: the self-grading gap. AI cannot grade its own homework. Product class: accountability engine for AI agents Output: a recorded, offline-checkable decision record Principle: the system making the decision cannot be the only system explaining why it was justified.
