Human experience.
Autonomous
operators.

Your best people know how your business works. Refinery turns that institutional memory into an autonomous workforce that carries the work forward.

Built for mid-market services. Starts with a defined responsibility and progresses toward the connected work of entire departments.

Expertise refined into an operating workforce Scattered company knowledge flows through Refinery into connected operators, with review feeding back into their policies. RecordsDecisionsExpertisePoliciesSystems 01Rf ResolveCoordinateFollow through

A new unit of capacity

AI takes charge
of outcomes.

Refinery builds AI operators that own the work: understand the case, act according to judgment, follow through to the best outcome.

01

Carry the context

Connect the case, account history and current policy across the systems your team uses.

02

Exercise judgment

Apply the decisions your experts approve, with explicit limits and a route for exceptions.

03

Close the loop

Our direction: operators that track unfinished work, coordinate handoffs and return when new information arrives.

04 / Test on unseen work

Check actions, policy compliance and outcomes against held-out cases and a strong baseline.

05 / Review, then widen scope

Start in draft mode. People approve actions. Expand autonomy one action type at a time as evidence supports it.

CONTROL Permissions enforced outside the model
Reviewer corrections → labelled examples → next tested policy version
Training, validation and held-out tests stay separate. New responsibility requires evidence and approval.

Decision-time grounding

Use the records and policy version available at the original decision. Split cases by time to prevent hindsight from inflating results.

Evidence-backed policies

Each rule cites supporting cases. The main rulebook is kept short enough for a person to read and approve, with evidence in appendices.

Independent checks

Pair deterministic action and permission checks with model judges calibrated to human grades. Score what happened, not just how a reply reads.

Versioned improvement

Trace edits and rejections to their rule and policy version. Re-test corrections before release and return regressing action types to review.
