Decision Records

Know who approved what, and why, permanently.

India's mandatory audit trail rules already ask this question of every transaction. AI governance decisions get asked it too, and most companies have no answer ready.

Every governance decision is recorded with who made it, what evidence they cited, and when, locked to that evidence at the moment it was decided, so nobody reconstructs it from memory six months later.

Captured, not filled in
Decisions are recorded from the sign-off actions people already take in the app, not typed into a separate form after the fact.
Cited evidence, not a claim
Every decision names the specific evidence record it relied on, so a reviewer can open that evidence directly, not just read a summary of it.
Locked at the moment of decision
The evidence a decision cites is snapshotted when the decision is made, so it can't silently drift if that evidence is edited later.
A gate, not just a log
Initiatives flagged as requiring sign-off cannot be marked complete until the required number of real sign-off decisions exist.

The Decisions Log: every governance decision, who made it, and what evidence it cites.

How it works
1
A sign-off is required
An admin can flag an initiative as requiring sign-off from a set number of distinct admins or owners before it can be closed.
2
Evidence is selected and cited
The person signing off selects the specific confirmed evidence records the decision relies on and can add a reason.
3
The decision is recorded
The decision, its author, its timestamp, and its cited evidence are written to the accountability log as one record.
4
The gate closes when satisfied
Once enough distinct sign-offs exist, the initiative can be marked complete. Until then, it stays visibly blocked.
Under the hood

The values below are a sample. The field names and structure are the same ones the decision ledger actually writes.

Frequently asked
No. The decision and the evidence it cited at the time are locked. If circumstances change, a new decision is recorded rather than the old one being rewritten.
Who this helps
The CTO
Gets a real gate that stops a governance-sensitive initiative from being closed without documented, evidence-backed sign-off.
The Compliance Head
Can answer 'who approved this and on what basis' for any past decision without reconstructing it from memory or email.
The Board
Reviews a permanent record of governance decisions and their cited evidence instead of taking a verbal assurance at face value.
