System / Decision Engine

Decisions happen before compute is admitted.

CO2 Router is an authorization system. The engine returns a binding action before execution, then records proof and trace state against the resulting frame.

Evaluation order

Policy and governance constraints are applied before execution.

Water authority can block, delay, or reroute execution.

Latency and workload criticality keep the decision inside a defensible operating envelope.

Carbon and cost refine placement once hard constraints are satisfied.

Binding actions

run now

Execute immediately because the current target satisfies doctrine, latency, and cost constraints.

reroute

Move execution to a cleaner or less water-stressed region before resources are allocated.

delay

Hold execution until a cleaner time window arrives inside the workload deadline.

throttle

Reduce resource intensity when the job must proceed but environmental conditions are degraded.

deny

Block execution when doctrine is violated and no acceptable alternative exists.
