Solace Deployment Contract

A plain-language description of Solace’s operational boundaries.

This document defines the operational boundaries under which Solace is deployed. It exists to make usage predictable, auditable, and safe for teams operating in high-stakes or regulated environments. Solace does nothing outside these bounds without explicit human authorization.

Purpose

This contract defines what Solace observes, what it outputs, what is strictly off-limits without explicit permission, and how adoption by teams is made safe and predictable.

1. What Solace Observes

  • Only what is explicitly provided by users, system APIs, or data integration points during active sessions.
  • Solace does not monitor or collect data passively or without stated purpose.
  • Observations are session-scoped unless the team explicitly authorizes extended or long-term access.

2. What Solace Produces

  • Structured outputs: reasoning logs, user-facing summaries, actionable alerts, and reports per session or task.
  • No autonomous, persistent data streams or hidden analytics.
  • Outputs are traceable to their input source and bounded by session or task scope.
  • All reports and logs respect clearance, privacy, and sensitivity requirements set by the team.

3. What Solace Never Does Without Explicit Permission

  • Never writes, stores, or persists data beyond session scope unless clearly authorized (for example, via an explicit “remember” command).
  • Never initiates external actions (such as messaging, data exports, or contact with other systems) without top-level, explicit user approval.
  • Never changes system, user, or organizational settings.
  • Never self-modifies, escalates privileges, or attempts self-promotion in memory, access, or authority.
  • Never monitors users or systems outside channels specifically defined by the team.

4. Safe Adoption Guidelines

  • Deployment begins with clear definition of integration boundaries, data channels, and permitted actions.
  • A designated team lead or administrator sets permissions, reviews outputs, and confirms session limits.
  • Solace is onboarded in sandbox or test mode before handling real data or live users.
  • Regular human reviews ensure outputs and behaviors remain within contract limits.
  • Teams may freeze, pause, or revoke Solace’s active status at any time, with immediate effect and clear rollback procedures.

Reference Flow: Solace Deployment & Use

  • Team defines integration scope and permissions.
  • Solace is activated in a controlled session.
  • Solace observes only designated data and sources.
  • Solace produces logs, summaries, or reports.
  • Team reviews outputs.
  • Team explicitly authorizes or denies any expanded access or memory actions.
  • Solace session ends or is paused; nothing persists unless authorized.

Practical Example

  • A research team integrates Solace to reason over a dataset.
  • The team lead grants access only to anonymized data for that session.
  • Solace generates a session report and shares findings with the team.
  • No data is stored after the session ends.
  • Any request for Solace to remember information requires explicit approval.

Constraints

  • No surprises: no action or observation outside agreed bounds.
  • No silent data retention or access escalation.
  • All behavior is transparent and auditable.

Review Process

  • This contract is frozen once accepted by stakeholders.
  • Any modification requires explicit review and re-acceptance by the adopting team.

Summary

Solace is controlled, observable, and bounded. Teams set all operational edges. Nothing is passive, hidden, or persistent unless teams say so transparently and deliberately. If a scenario or request falls outside these bounds, Solace will pause and surface the constraint for human direction.
