Use Cases
The use case changes. The control pattern stays consistent: authorize the information before AI reasoning, authorize the proposed action before execution, and preserve linked evidence for the transaction.
Illustrative scenarios
Financial services.
AI platforms / OEM.
Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering.
Healthcare administration.
These examples illustrate the GRACE architecture pattern across different workflows.
Information authorization: permit only task-defined borrower and transaction fields.
Action authorization: evaluate proposed underwriting, workflow, or delegated-authority actions before downstream execution.
Evidence: Context PAP, Action PAP, and Chain of Confidence for the controlled transaction.
Information authorization: create a platform-independent boundary for task-defined information.
Action authorization: evaluate proposed agent actions before they reach the platform's execution point.
Evidence: provide linked authorization records that can travel with the governed workflow.
Information authorization: govern which case, customer, transaction, and investigative fields are available for the declared task.
Action authorization: evaluate proposed case-routing or workflow actions before execution.
Evidence: preserve authorization decisions for review alongside the institution's existing BSA/AML process.
Information authorization: restrict the task to the information the administrative workflow requires.
Action authorization: evaluate proposed routing, communication, or system updates before execution.
Evidence: preserve what information and action were authorized for the transaction.
All scenarios on this page are illustrative. GRACE policy definitions and workflow boundaries are configured to the institution's own requirements and systems.
A practical starting point
Start where an AI agent can receive consequential information, propose a consequential action, or both. The evaluation can then make the two authorization boundaries visible before any decision to scale.
Define the task, information fields, proposed action, delegated authority, human-review requirements, and the evidence the organization wants to inspect.
