Product vocabulary for PEREGRINES™. Each term uses a classical falconry metaphor mapped to plain-English system capabilities.
| Term | Falconry meaning | Product mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Falconer | Handler who directs the hunt | Orchestrator — plans tasks, manages scope, exercises HITL authority via the control plane |
| Peregrine | Precision hunting bird | Worker agent — executes individual tasks on an assigned plane with verified proof |
| Talon | Capability used in the strike | Skill or modular capability — provider-agnostic tooling the worker calls during execution |
| Term | Falconry meaning | Product mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Mews | Permanent housing | Development or staging environment where agents train and test safely |
| Perch | Observation point | Operator dashboard — task state, progress, and approval interface |
| Field | Hunting ground | Target execution environment — production or integration where real work happens |
| Term | Falconry meaning | Product mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Hood | Calm before release | HITL approval gate — the agent pauses for human authorization before risky actions |
| Jesses | Leg straps that limit range | Budget caps and runaway limits — prevent uncontrolled resource consumption |
| Creance | Training tether | Control-plane tether — heartbeat monitoring, forced recall, and bounded execution |
| Bell | Always audible to the falconer | Telemetry — every lifecycle stage emits auditable signals: plans, executions, proofs |
| ZT idea (plain) | Falconry term | Product meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Never trust the network alone | Field / Home roost | Agency on governed endpoint (desktop/VDI), not a random cloud browser for customer sessions |
| Verify identity (customer IdP) | Session in the Field | Drive already-established user/robot session; do not replace agency ICAM/IdP |
| Least privilege | Jesses | Scoped sites, vault paths, seats |
| Human gate | Hood | HITL before high-stakes actions |
| Continuous eval / re-auth | Hood re-applied | Expiry or step-up → fail closed; re-auth |
| Policy vs secrets | Creance ≠ keys | Creance = policy/audit/tether; keys and SSO stay in the Field |
Keys stay in the Field; Creance carries policy and recall, not identity secrets.
Reference design aligned with Zero Trust principles — not Zero Trust certification, FedRAMP authorization, or ICAM replacement.
