Quorum: Governed Business Intelligence

Quorum is a Band-powered governed analytics platform that turns natural-language business questions into trustworthy, auditable answers. Instead of relying on a single AI model, Quorum uses a council of specialized agents that collaborate through a structured governance workflow. A Planner creates an investigation strategy, a Plan Guardian reviews the approach before execution, a SQL Analyst generates and executes queries, a Cost Sentinel validates cost and plan compliance, a Governance Guardian reviews correctness after execution, and a Decision Reporter converts findings into actionable recommendations. Quorum supports two investigation modes. Governed Chain answers descriptive questions such as "What happened?" through a sequential review process. Investigation Board tackles diagnostic questions such as "Why did revenue decline?" by launching multiple investigators in parallel and using an adjudicator to evaluate competing explanations before reaching a conclusion. Built on Band's multi-agent framework, Quorum enables structured collaboration between agents, allowing them to plan, review, challenge, validate, and justify outputs before a result reaches the user. This creates a transparent decision-making process rather than a black-box AI response. A core innovation is Quorum's governance-first design. Every plan, SQL query, agent decision, cost estimate, compliance review, revision request, and final recommendation is captured in a complete audit trail. Users can inspect investigation timelines, generated SQL, governance decisions, and supporting evidence behind every answer. The platform combines FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL/SQLite, and LiteLLM-based model routing with support for Groq, AI/ML API, Featherless, OpenAI-compatible providers, and Ollama. By combining Band's collaborative agent orchestration with enterprise governance controls, Quorum delivers explainable AI-powered analytics that organizations can confidently use for business decision-making.
