Control plane
Policies, permissions, secrets and environments, versioned and enforced at runtime.
Control planePlatform
The platform that runs your processes under policy
ÆTERION BRAIAN turns business processes into governed software: one control plane, one runtime, one record of every decision taken.
The platform that runs your processes under policy
The ÆTERION BRAIAN platform has four layers. A control plane holds policies and permissions, an orchestration runtime executes process steps, an evaluation layer scores agent output before release, and observability records traces, cost and outcomes. The layers share one data model, so a policy change takes effect everywhere at once.
Four layers, one runtime
Each layer is usable on its own and stronger together. Companies usually start with the control plane over existing automation, then move execution into the runtime.
Orchestration
Process definitions, agent routing, retries, escalation and human approval steps.
OrchestrationEvaluation
Test suites, scoring and release gates that block regressions before production.
EvaluationWhat does the platform replace?
- Scripts and notebooks that call models directly with no permission model.
- Automation spread across tools where no single team can answer who approved what.
- Prompt changes shipped without regression testing or rollback.
- Manual evidence collection at audit time, reconstructed from logs after the fact.
How does a process run?
- 1. Define
- A process is modelled as steps with owners, inputs, expected outputs and the systems it may touch.
- 2. Authorise
- The control plane resolves which agent, service or person may execute each step, and under which limits.
- 3. Execute
- The runtime runs the step, retries on failure, and escalates to a human when confidence or policy requires it.
- 4. Record
- Inputs, outputs, cost, model version and approvals are written to an immutable trace.
FAQ
Is BRAIAN a consulting service?
No. ÆTERION BRAIAN is a software product, licensed per environment. Onboarding support exists, but the platform is what you buy.
Do we have to move our data into BRAIAN?
No. BRAIAN reads and writes through connectors to your existing systems. It stores process metadata, traces and policies, not a copy of your operational database.
Can we start with a single process?
Yes. A first process usually goes live in weeks on one connector, then the same control plane covers further processes without new infrastructure.

We run a working session on one of your processes and show the control plane, runtime and audit trail against it.
