Why IFP Works Differently

Traditional monitoring reacts. IFP predicts.

Traditional Monitoring

Single-Tier Detection
  • Reactive Only

    Alerts fire after problems occur.

  • Manual Correlation

    Humans connect dots between alerts.

  • No Learning

    Same problems repeat indefinitely.

  • Alert Fatigue

    Too many false positives to trust.

IFP Two-Tier Intelligence

SAGE + Agent Layer
  • Predictive Meta-Observation

    SAGE predicts cascading failures before they happen.

  • Automatic Correlation

    Correlation Agent finds cross-domain patterns.

  • Continuous Learning

    Confidence weights adapt from execution outcomes.

  • High-Confidence Actions

    69% autonomous, 31% human-in-the-loop.

🧠 The SAGE Advantage

SAGE doesn't just observe your infrastructure.

SAGE observes the agents observing your infrastructure.

Then SAGE reflects on its own past reflections.

This recursive meta-observation enables prediction at depth.

Traditional monitoring cannot do this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about SAGE, agents, and two-tier intelligence.

What is SAGE?

SAGE (Self-Aware General Executor) is IFP's strategic meta-observer.

SAGE doesn't just monitor infrastructure. SAGE observes the agents monitoring infrastructure, then reflects on its own past reflections.

This recursive reasoning enables prediction before cascading failures occur.

Key capabilities:

  • Recursive reasoning (depth 1-10+ levels)
  • Context accumulation (25+ days of learning)
  • Hybrid escalation policy (69% auto, 31% human)
  • Never executes directly - coordinates specialists
How do agents learn?

Agents use confidence weight adaptation based on execution outcomes.

After each action:

  • Success → Increase confidence by 10% (weight × 1.1)
  • Failure → Decrease confidence by 10% (weight × 0.9)
  • Weights bounded: 0.1 ≤ weight ≤ 2.0

Example: DevOps Agent over 30 days

  • Day 1: Restart confidence = 1.0 (baseline)
  • Day 15: Restart confidence = 1.21 (restarts work well)
  • Day 30: Restart confidence = 1.45 (high trust)

This produces the 87-95% success rates you see in production.

Why two tiers instead of one?

Traditional monitoring has a single tier: observe infrastructure, fire alerts.

IFP's two-tier architecture adds meta-observation:

Tier 1 (SAGE): Strategic meta-observer

  • Observes agents AND infrastructure
  • Reflects recursively (depth 1-10+)
  • Predicts cascading failures
  • Coordinates specialists

Tier 2 (Agents): Tactical domain specialists

  • Execute in specific domains (Docker, Web3, K8s)
  • Fast response (30-120s cycles)
  • Learn from outcomes
  • 69% autonomous execution

This separation enables both speed (agents) and depth (SAGE).

Will IFP make changes to production automatically?

Default: No. IFP uses a hybrid escalation policy.

Three tiers:

  • Tier 1 (31%): Always escalate to human - Control plane, databases, blockchain
  • Tier 2 (50%): Conditional auto-execute (confidence > 0.85) - Monitoring, agents
  • Tier 3 (19%): Encouraged auto-execute (confidence > 0.70) - Edge services, UI

You can adjust thresholds per container. You stay in control.

How quickly can I deploy IFP?

3 commands, 60 seconds to install:

git clone https://github.com/Nordvei/ifp-edge.git
cd ifp-edge
./quick-start.sh

Timeline:

  • Minute 1: 35 containers start
  • Minute 5: Basic monitoring operational
  • Hour 1: Agents begin observations
  • Day 1: Pattern discovery accumulating
  • Week 1: Agent confidence weights tuned
  • Month 1: Full production intelligence
What's the DGX cost optimization about?

SAGE uses LLM inference for deep reasoning. Two options:

Option 1: Cloud APIs (Current)

  • Cost: $28.80/day ($864/month)
  • Depth: Limited to 3 levels (cost constraint)
  • Latency: 3-5 seconds per cycle

Option 2: Local GPU (DGX Spark)

  • Cost: $2.88/day ($86/month)
  • Depth: 10-100 levels (no cost limit)
  • Latency: 1-2 seconds per cycle
  • Hardware: $4,000 one-time (5-month ROI)

Savings: $777/month after hardware payback

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. All data processing happens on your infrastructure.

IFP is self-hosted. Your data never leaves your control.

Optional: You can enable cloud LLM APIs for enhanced SAGE reasoning, but this is opt-in only.

We don't collect analytics, phone home, or have access to your data.

What if SAGE makes a wrong prediction?

SAGE doesn't execute directly - it coordinates agents.

If an agent makes a wrong decision based on SAGE's suggestion:

  • The agent's confidence weight decreases
  • SAGE learns the pattern didn't work
  • Future similar suggestions are less likely
  • You can review decision logs in insights.jsonl

The system improves continuously from mistakes.
