Decision inputs
Facts that change the policy answer
For this request, facts, applicable policy version and reviewer decision is the input boundary and a reproducible record of the decision is the output boundary. A useful check makes both explicit.
- 1Task and owner
- Compliance operations manager wants to create a compliance decision record. The request needs an accountable owner for a reproducible record of the decision, even when the tool prepares most of the first draft.
- 2Information involved
- Facts, applicable policy version and reviewer decision. The classification must cover what the tool can retrieve as well as what the requester types.
- 3Tool and account
- An approved company account. Treat a new plug-in or connector as a change to the approved setup.
- 4Intended result
- The expected result is a reproducible record of the decision. Its destination matters: private working material creates a different consequence from a sent, published or automated result.
- 5Consequence if it is wrong
- The record can become misleading if later policy changes overwrite the original basis. That risk sets the level of review and the person who should receive an exception.
- 6Human review
- policy owner should inspect, change, reject or stop the result. The reviewer needs the source material and must be able to reject the output before it takes effect.
Possible policy routes
The task name alone cannot decide it.
A published workplace policy can return different answers for the same task. These are the practical branches worth encoding.
A routine policy route may be possible
The company can consider a standard route where the exact account is approved, only the minimum compliance case information is used, a reproducible record of the decision remains within the stated purpose, and policy owner reviews it before use.
Approval may be required
Send the request for approval if the account or data handling is uncertain, the record can become misleading if later policy changes overwrite the original basis, or a reproducible record of the decision reaches people or systems beyond the requester’s authority.
The request may need to stop or change
Do not continue unchanged when restricted information would enter an unapproved service, the output would act before policy owner can intervene, or freeze the applied version and append later review events separately cannot be maintained. Consider less information, a controlled account or a non-AI process.
