Liberation Patterns

Open Frameworks, Closed Implementation

Knowledge should be accessible. Mastery requires partnership.

Liberation Patterns are freely shared methodologies for AI-augmented security analysis. We publish the frameworks, cost structures, and implementation guidance. You can implement them yourself, or engage us to tailor them to your domain.

This is not open-source software. This is open intelligence—structured approaches to complex problems that democratize access to sophisticated analysis techniques.

What Is an AI Analysis Pattern?

An AI Analysis Pattern is a structured, repeatable approach to solving a specific class of problems using a combination of AI models, programmatic elements, and human expertise.

Unlike simply prompting ChatGPT or Claude, patterns provide:

  • Bounded-time responses for mission-critical workflows
  • Optimized cost structures for running thousands of instances
  • Systematic supervision for long-running multi-agent workflows
  • Hybrid AI + programmatic approaches that leverage the best of both
  • Sector-specific adaptations with implementation guidance

Patterns turn "AI might help with this" into "here's exactly how to do it, what it costs, and how to tune it."

Five Essential Components

Every Liberation Pattern addresses the what, how, how much, and how well of implementation.

1. Workflow Challenge

The specific problem being optimized. Could be life management (task/calendar workflows) or domain-specific analysis (supply chain risk, scientific research, regulatory compliance).

Example: "How do I verify authenticity of 10,000 hardware components without manual inspection?"

2. Framework Implementation

Detailed guidance for implementation across AI platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with specific model recommendations for different workflow stages.

Defines the mix of AI models and programmatic elements, optimizing for performance and bounded-time responses where critical.

3. Cost to Implement

Per-instance run-rate calculations with diverse model examples, allowing implementers to budget for 1,000s of instances.

Example: "Tier 1: $0.0001/item, Tier 2: $0.01/item, Total: $0.13/chip average"

4. Runtime Interpretation & Tuning

Supervisory patterns for monitoring long-running workflows (hours or days), enabling redirection or termination when needed.

Includes output format recommendations optimized for different stakeholder roles.

5. Sector Guidance

Industry-specific adaptations for generic patterns (regulatory compliance, supply chain risk, etc.).

Example: Defense/aerospace requires 99%+ verification; consumer electronics optimizes for cost at 90% detection.

Pattern Examples

We're building a growing library of freely available patterns. Some are production-ready. Some are experimental. All are documented with implementation details, cost structures, and lessons learned.

Hardware Provenance Verification

Detect counterfeit chips through multi-tier analysis: cryptographic signatures, die photo AI analysis, electrical fingerprinting. Optimized for defense/aerospace (99%+ detection) and consumer electronics (90% at cost).

Cost: $0.13/chip average
Accuracy: 99.2% (defense tier)
Status: Production-ready

Cascading Anomaly Detection

Analyze millions of events without drowning in false positives. Three-tier cascade: programmatic filtering → lightweight AI triage → deep analysis. Reduces analyst burden by 87%.

Cost: $0.003/event
Detection Rate: 90-95%
Status: Production-ready

AI-Augmented Attack Surface Enumeration

Find ALL attack vectors, not just obvious ones. Hybrid approach: programmatic graph traversal + AI reasoning about interaction effects. Discovered 47 vectors vs 12 manual baseline.

Cost: $2.50/system
Coverage: 3.9x improvement
Status: Beta

Test & Evaluation Automation

Achieve comprehensive test coverage at scale. AI-generated test cases, programmatic execution, intelligent result analysis. Increased coverage from 40% to 85%, 40x faster, 96% cost reduction.

Cost: $0.05/test
Speed: 40x faster than manual
Status: Production-ready

Scientific Agent Collaboration

Multi-agent systems working together for hours on complex research problems. Supervisory patterns for checkpoint monitoring, divergence detection, and graceful termination.

Cost: $15-50/research problem
Runtime: 2-8 hours typical
Status: Experimental

Executive Function Augmentation

AI Cortex for task and calendar management via MCP connectors. Intelligent prioritization, context-aware scheduling, natural language task capture. For individuals managing complex workflows.

Cost: $0.001/interaction
Integration: Calendar, Reminders, Tasks
Status: Beta

Six Hours, Five Agents, One Complex Problem

Recently, I was asked: "Is it possible to derive an equation that represents the resilience of a system or function such that a resilience threshold could dictate whether a system or function could stay online during a function degradation attack?"

This isn't a ChatGPT question. This is a multi-day research problem requiring mathematical modeling, system dynamics understanding, attack scenario analysis, and iterative refinement.

I deployed five specialized agents that worked together for six hours, exploring the problem space, validating approaches, and converging on solutions.

This Required Supervisory Patterns For:

  • Checkpoint monitoring: Ensure agents aren't diverging or stuck in loops
  • Resource budgeting: Manage token usage and API costs across 6-hour runs
  • Interim output validation: Catch errors early before cascading through workflow
  • Divergence detection: Recognize when agents are producing inconsistent results
  • Graceful termination: Know when to stop even if the problem isn't "solved"

This is where Liberation Patterns differentiate from simply having access to Claude or GPT. The pattern provides the structure, supervision, and orchestration that makes complex, long-running analysis tractable.

And this pattern will be freely available for anyone to implement.
