Authority Resolution Report
Shows where authority genuinely holds, where it fails, and under what conditions it breaks.
Entry Offer
Execution Authority Validation Sprint
AI systems are already executing decisions. Most organisations cannot prove those actions were authorised.
A 4–6 week execution-boundary test that determines whether authority actually holds at the moment of action — or fails.
1. Map where decisions become irreversible
Identify inputs, models, overrides, and the exact point where consequence binds.
2. Define authority at execution
Establish mandate, scope, jurisdiction, and escalation at the moment of action.
3. Break admissibility under pressure
Test edge cases, override paths, and failure scenarios in real execution conditions.
4. Define what must be provable
Specify the evidence required at decision time for defensible outcomes.
Payment Execution Demo
The moment governance fails — and FlowSignal stops it.
Upstream: everything appears valid. At execution: authority fails.
The decision is valid. The execution is not authorised.
Initial proof point
Payment execution
Scenario
AI proposes a supplier payment
An AI-assisted workflow recommends releasing a £250,000 supplier payment based on invoice match, prior approval pattern, and urgency flags.
1. Invoice approved
Upstream approval passes
Invoice matched, supplier recognised, threshold appears satisfied.
2. AI risk check
Risk model returns PASS
No anomaly trigger, no fraud pattern, no upstream refusal.
3. Payment scheduled
Workflow prepares execution
Everything still looks commercially valid before the payment binds.
4. FlowSignal intercepts
Execution-boundary authority check
- Delegated authority limit exceeded
- Second approver not present in live session
- Evidence envelope incomplete for urgent override
5. Deterministic output
REFUSE
Payment does not execute. The workflow is blocked before state change.
Board-Level Outputs
Concrete deliverables a buyer can use immediately.
Execution Risk Map
Pinpoints where the decision becomes unsafe, non-defensible, or dependent on hidden assumptions.
Control Design Recommendation
Defines what control must exist at the execution boundary to make the workflow defensible.
Next Step
Run the sprint on one real workflow.
Use FAVS to test whether authority actually survives to execution in one live, high-consequence workflow.
