Organizations are deploying AI agents into governance-critical processes — procurement, risk decisions, compliance enforcement, architectural change. The gap between what these agents can do and what governance can verify is widening. That gap is where catastrophic failures live — not because the AI is wrong, but because governance can't tell whether it's right.
We built OntoRamp on a bet: governance is not a compliance problem — it is a physics problem. Organizational intent degrades through transformation the same way energy dissipates through friction. Policies exist but nothing connects them to the decisions they're supposed to govern. Accountability is declared but structurally unenforced. These aren't failures of discipline. They're structural gaps that only a graph can see.
The pages below are the published specification of a computable governance system — the theoretical framework, the measurement vocabulary, the domains we assess, the methodology we follow, and the API that makes it programmable. Written for governance architects, platform engineers, and executives who need precision, not persuasion.
Framework
The theoretical foundation. Why governance is a physics problem — and why conservation, not optimization, is the correct frame for organizational transformation.
Vocabulary
The measurement scale. Five tiers on the Governance Ladder — defined precisely enough to compute, not just discuss.
Domains
The assessment surface. Seven domains that map the full governance structure of an organization.
Methodology
How it works. What an Enterprise Governance Assessment measures, how it computes scores, and what the outputs mean.
Glossary
Every term, defined. The complete vocabulary — precise enough to eliminate ambiguity between engineering and governance teams.
MCP API
The programmable interface. Eleven tools across three plugins — connect your agent runtime to governance intelligence.
