Every agent, intake flow, and automation writes a proposed action onto one tamper-evident ledger — a deterministic gate classifies it, money and identity are capped at prepare-only, and a human approves the consequential ones. Runs on your infrastructure, with a signed audit trail your CISO can hand an auditor.
Your teams are wiring AI agents and automations into systems that move money, change identities, post publicly, and touch regulated records. Each one decides for itself when to act, logs — if at all — to its own scattered store, and pings whoever it feels like. There is no single place to see what was proposed, no proof a human approved the consequential ones, and no way to show a log wasn't edited after the fact.
So you cannot answer the two questions every auditor, CISO, and regulator now asks: 'Did a human actually approve this?' and 'Can you prove the record wasn't altered?' Rubber-stamped approvals and un-verifiable audit trails are exactly what EU AI Act Article 14 and the NIST AI RMF say is not enough. And the moment you let an agent execute a payment, a credit decision, or an access grant on its own, you have handed a model authority you cannot legally or operationally give away.
Days, not a platform build. The gate, ledger, violation sweep, and dashboard are pre-built flow8 flows. Point your highest-consequence producer at the shared ledger with the kill-switch on and run it shadow-first — you watch it classify real proposed actions and see the quality of every verdict before a single approval task reaches a person.
One control plane every AI or automation action runs through — one producer today, every agent you own tomorrow.
An agent literally cannot fire a payment, a credit decision, or an access grant on its own. The gate forces every money or identity action to prepare-only, the platform returns proceed=false, and it routes to a human — structurally, not by policy.
Every proposed action across every agent and team lands on one shared ledger — hash-chained and HMAC-signed, so a post-hoc edit is detectable, not deniable. No more scattered, un-verifiable per-agent logs.
The one action that needs a decision surfaces as a single approval task on the surface your reviewers already use — no new console to babysit, and never a duplicate across re-runs or overlapping fires.
A weekly dashboard shows %prepared-vs-committed, an itemized money and identity log, violation trends, and live chain-integrity — the exact evidence Article 14 and NIST AI RMF auditors ask for.
Change a threshold, a hold-list, or a deny-rule without redeploying a single agent. The rules the gate enforces live as data your risk team owns — not logic frozen inside code.
A continuous reconciler sweep re-verifies every signature and flags any action that committed without preparing, slipped the gate ungoverned, or sits abandoned past SLA — and opens a ticket, so governance gaps surface instead of hiding.
The model proposes; a human executes; nothing touching money or identity ever auto-fires. It is the same secure spine every flow8 Solution runs — here worn as the control plane every other action passes through.
proposed row on a shared, tamper-evident actions ledger — not an action.proposed row, then hash-chained and HMAC-signed at commit.
draft, not act
Approvals & Action Governance is the cross-cutting control plane every AI or automation action runs through before it touches the real world. Your producers — agents, intake flows, pricing engines, ERP connectors — never act on their own; they write a proposed action onto one shared, tamper-evident ledger. A synchronous, deterministic gate classifies each one with hard rules first: anything that moves money or changes identity, anything flagged for injection, anything hitting a deny-rule or hold-list is forced to prepare-only and handed to a human. An optional LLM may only tighten that verdict, never loosen it — most-restrictive-wins.
Because the deterministic floor decides and the model can only advise, because money and identity are capped at prepare-only by construction, and because the verdict is written and signed before any side-effect on a hash-chained ledger, you get provable oversight without re-implementing guardrails in a single agent. Off-the-shelf agents give a model authority first and bolt on approval later — flow8 makes the gate the architecture every action already runs through.
Not rebuilt from scratch — composed from the same governed building blocks every flow8 Solution shares, so it ships in days.
Any team whose agents and automations touch money, identity, or regulated records — and must prove a human approved before anything fired.
Adopt this one and it classifies, signs, and routes the drafts the others already write to the shared ledger.
Point your riskiest automation — payments, identity changes, ERP postings — at the shared ledger and watch it classify a week of real proposed actions: drafts only, no tasks, full signed audit trail. When you're ready, flip on the approval queue, and every additional agent just writes a prepared row — no per-agent guardrail code to build.
