Nervos is a Decision Intelligence Operating System built specifically for the procurement and finance operations of complex, regulated organizations. Every write action is human-approved, every decision is traceable, and every audit event is immutable — by architecture, not by policy.

What Nervos does
QAMO (Quantified Analysis, Multi-agent Orchestration) ingests a procurement objective, runs five specialized AI agents against live market signals and your organization's decision history, scores scenarios with Monte Carlo risk projection, and surfaces a recommended action. That action cannot reach NetSuite, Salesforce, or any connected system until a qualified human approves it — and the approver can never be the proposer.
Strategic, market, automation, risk, and ROI agents run in parallel against live data. Every recommendation includes P10/P50/P90 risk bands and a full sensitivity analysis.
No system-of-record write happens without an approved proposal. The write gate is enforced at the API layer — not enforced by training or guidelines, but by code that cannot be bypassed.
Every execution step is recorded with a SHA-256 hash linking each entry to the previous. Retroactive modification is mathematically detectable. DCAA examiners can verify chain integrity independently.
AC-5 compliance is not a checkbox — it is an architectural constraint. The database enforces that proposer ≠ approver on every proposal, regardless of role configuration.
Every approved decision becomes a memory node, scoped to your org. Future QAMO runs recall what worked, what was rejected, and why — with k-anonymous cross-org signal aggregation.
One-click export of the full proposal, approval chain, execution ledger, and rationale documentation in CSV or JSON. Auditors get the complete picture in seconds, not months.
Compliance alignment
The controls below are not documented intentions — they are implemented as structural constraints in the codebase, verified in CI, and visible in the immutable audit log. Full control mapping is available under NDA.
Proposer ≠ approver — enforced server-side on every action. No configuration required. Self-approval attempts are blocked and logged automatically.
Every proposal creation, approval, rejection, execution, and connector credential change writes an immutable audit record with caller identity, payload hash, timestamp, and duration.
The execution ledger is hash-chained (SHA-256 step-linking) — any retrospective modification is mathematically detectable. DCAA examiners can independently verify chain integrity.
Four role tiers (viewer, analyst, admin, owner), each with a locked capability set. Role escalation requires a separate privileged operation — end users cannot elevate themselves.
Nervos provides the documented approval workflow, competitive-analysis evidence, and sole-source justification trail that CPSR reviewers look for in a contractor purchasing system.
Every procurement action carries a rationale (QAMO-generated or human-authored), a risk score, and an approval chain — exportable for DCAA and DCMA audit on demand.
Full NIST 800-171 control mapping, CMMC Level 2 alignment matrix, SOC 2 control documentation, and a pre-filled SIG/CAIQ vendor questionnaire are available under NDA. Contact security@thenervos.com or request the full trust packet below.
CPSR readiness
A CPSR examiner is looking for evidence that your purchasing system is operating as documented. Nervos makes your purchasing system the documentation — every control is enforced in code and every action is a permanent, exportable audit record.
Written procurement procedures are followed
Approval workflow is code — not policy. Every deviation is blocked, not just logged.
Competitive procurements are documented
QAMO generates market-comparative analysis with live signals before any write action is proposed.
Sole-source justifications are on file
Proposal rationale is required and stored in the immutable ledger. DCAA can pull it in seconds.
Separation of duties between buyers and approvers
Server-enforced. The person who proposes a transaction cannot approve it — no exception.
Pricing reasonableness is established
Monte Carlo risk scoring and ROI projection accompany every proposal before it reaches an approver.
Records are retained and auditable
Append-only hash-chained ledger with cryptographically verifiable step history. Export at any time.
ROI at scale
QAMO identifies value by analyzing market signals, historical decision patterns, and operational data simultaneously — across supplier pricing, contract terms, sourcing risk, and approval latency. These are illustrative scenarios based on published DoD procurement benchmarks, not guarantees. All projections are tagged simulated and never presented as live data.
Supply chain redundancy capture
Input: $8B annual subcontract spend
Finding: QAMO identifies 2–4% redundancy across tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers on a comparable objective
$160M–$320M identified annually
Simulated · based on published DoD benchmarks
Approval cycle compression
Input: 14-day average approval latency
Finding: Approval-gated digital workflow compresses to < 4 hours without removing human oversight
60–90 days of productivity recovered per year per team
Simulated · based on published DoD benchmarks
CPSR audit preparation
Input: 3 months of manual evidence gathering per CPSR cycle
Finding: Immutable ledger exports DCAA-ready evidence package on demand
~$2M in external audit prep labor recovered
Simulated · based on published DoD benchmarks
Self-approval breach elimination
Input: Estimated 3–8% of high-value transactions have SoD violations in manual systems
Finding: Zero self-approvals. Every attempt is blocked server-side and written to the audit log
CMMC AC-5 (separation of duties) aligned by architecture, from day 1

Security architecture
Data isolation
Postgres Row Level Security on every table, scoped by organization ID. Verified in CI — no table without RLS, no cross-tenant read is possible through any query path.
Credential vaulting
Connector secrets held in Supabase Vault (libsodium, Supabase KMS). A stolen session token cannot read another org's NetSuite credentials — enforced at the RLS layer, not the application layer.
Signed webhooks
NetSuite inbound webhooks verified by HMAC-SHA256 signature. Unsigned or replayed payloads are rejected at the edge, before any processing begins.
Immutable ledger
SHA-256 hash-chained execution step table. Every ledger entry links to its predecessor. Mathematical proof that no entry was deleted or modified after the fact.
Engage Nervos
We run a 2-week structured engagement against a real objective in your procurement operation — fully refundable if QAMO does not identify a minimum 3× return on the engagement fee. Enterprise deployments begin at a dedicated briefing under NDA.
Classified discussions and on-site briefings available for DoD prime contractors and cleared programs. All engagements begin under mutual NDA.
