Core concept

Decision Integrity

Decision integrity means the organization can reconstruct what the AI system saw, what it ignored, which constraint applied, who had authority, and why an action was allowed, refused, or escalated.

Evidence

Source-current facts, explicit assumptions, provenance, and reviewable receipts.

Authority

Named actors, boundaries, permissions, escalation triggers, and human review points.

Audit

Version-bound state that can be inspected later by people or agents.
