AI Decision Control Plane

AI proposes an action. TracePoint determines whether it has authority to proceed.

TracePoint binds an identified AI actor, accountable business owner, delegated authority, policy, and exact action context into an allow, deny, or escalate decision before execution.

For AI platform teams and business owners accountable for autonomous actions.

The missing control boundary

Access is not authority.

Identity and access systems determine whether an agent can reach a system. They do not determine whether the agent has institutional authority to make a specific business decision. TracePoint controls that missing boundary.

01

Manual approval for every action

Safe in limited cases, but too slow to support meaningful autonomy.

02

Broad agent autonomy

Fast, but weakens control over consequential decisions.

03

TracePoint authorization

Delegated authority with policy enforcement, escalation, accountable ownership, and action bound evidence.

How TracePoint works

A decision control loop before execution.

TracePoint governs the business decision, not merely the agent's access to software.

01

Establish authority

Identify the AI actor, accountable owner, permitted actions, limits, purposes, and resources.

02

Evaluate the proposed decision

Test the proposed action against delegated authority and enterprise policy.

03

Authorize or stop execution

Return ALLOW, DENY, or ESCALATE. Issue an action bound authorization only when permitted.

04

Connect decision to outcome

Record execution, evidence, exceptions, and recovery as one connected decision history.

TracePoint Authorize

Operational Change Authorization, controlled end to end.

An AI operations agent proposes a controlled production change. TracePoint verifies local identity, evaluates delegated authority and the Operational Change Control Pack, then allows, denies, or escalates before execution.

The same action-neutral control model can apply to commercial exceptions, procurement commitments, customer remedies, sensitive disclosures, account changes, and regulated operational decisions.

Position in the enterprise stack

The authorization layer between access and execution.

IAM controls access. Guardrails constrain model behavior. Observability records activity. TracePoint determines whether a specific consequential business action has authority to proceed.

TracePoint is designed to work across identity providers, AI platforms, policy systems, and business applications without requiring one vendor to own the complete enterprise stack.

01AI agents and automation

Propose consequential business actions.

02Identity, access, and agent security

Authenticate actors and control system access.

03TracePoint decision authorization

Determine whether the business decision has authority to proceed.

04Business systems and execution

Execute only operations accepted by the enforcement path.

05Outcome, evidence, and recovery

Preserve the result, receipt, evidence, and remediation context.

Commercial entry

Start with one decision boundary.

TracePoint works with design partners to define one consequential AI decision, encode its authority model, connect authorization to execution, and measure how much controlled autonomy the organization can safely enable.

Built for the business owner accountable for the decision and the AI platform team implementing it.

Decision Boundary Assessment

Define the action, owner, authority, policy, enforcement point, and evidence contract.

Design Partner Implementation

Connect authorization to one consequential workflow and execution system.

TracePoint Authorize

Make delegated machine authority explicit.
