# Assurance Layer **Entity class:** Synthesis And Bridge Pages That Make The Whole Project Intelligible concept **Assurance Layer** is a concept in the synthesis and bridge pages that make the whole project intelligible of the counterterrorism predictive-graph ontology. Assurance Layer belongs in the ontology because AI can compute over this structure while analysts retain responsibility for interpretation and authorized action. ## Counterterrorism predictive-graph role The page records capability and analytic function. Any claim of a named operational deployment remains subject to the [[wiki/Counterterrorism Predictive Graph Evidence Ladder|evidence ladder]]. The analytic state should distinguish ground truth, observed evidence, inferred state, and predicted state. ## Relationships - **domain router:** [[wiki/Counterterrorism Predictive Graph|Counterterrorism Predictive Graph]]. - **ontology neighbors:** [[wiki/Inference Layer|Inference Layer]] and [[wiki/Operational Layer|Operational Layer]]. - **synthesis:** [[wiki/Counterterrorism Predictive Graph|Counterterrorism Predictive Graph]] and [[wiki/Predictive Intelligence Loop|Predictive Intelligence Loop]]. ## Sources - [IARPA — AGILE technical overview (accessed September 23, 2026)](https://www.iarpa.gov/images/research-programs/AGILE/AGILE_ModSim_-_Final.pdf) - [IARPA — Making Data Analysis More AGILE (accessed September 23, 2026)](https://www.iarpa.gov/newsroom/article/making-data-analysis-more-agile) **As of:** 2026-09-23
