Architecture
High-level system architecture of Syzygy Rosetta — how applications, governance middleware, AI models, and compliance systems interact.
System Architecture Overview
Stakeholders & Consumers
The architecture serves multiple stakeholders who interact with Rosetta in different ways.
Compliance Teams
Review audit receipts, verify policy compliance, respond to regulatory inquiries.
Risk Teams
Monitor risk patterns, identify model drift, assess governance effectiveness.
Internal Audit
Independently verify decision documentation and control effectiveness.
Regulators
Examine evidence records during examinations and investigations.
Engineering
Integrate applications with Rosetta, configure policies, manage models.
Business Teams
Access decision analytics, review workflow outcomes, manage exceptions.
System Boundaries
Rosetta is designed as a middleware layer that integrates with existing systems rather than replacing them. It operates at the governance boundary between:
- Applications that initiate AI-assisted decisions and Rosetta's evaluation engine.
- Rosetta and the AI models it governs (model outputs are evaluated, not modified).
- Rosetta and the evidence store where audit receipts are preserved.
- Rosetta and external audit/compliance systems that consume evidence records.
The architecture described here represents our current design vision. Specific components, interfaces, and deployment patterns will be refined during development. We do not claim production-ready architecture at this stage. Implementation details may evolve significantly as we progress toward Rosetta v1.
Design Philosophy
Separation of Concerns
Governance logic is separated from application and model logic, enabling independent evolution.
Integration-Friendly
Rosetta integrates via standard interfaces and protocols, minimizing integration effort.
Evidence-First
Every component is designed to produce and preserve evidence as a primary function.
Scalable by Design
Architecture supports horizontal scaling for high-volume financial workflows.
