Independent Decision Governance Review (IDGR)

Decision Governance Group conducts structured, independent reviews of AI-mediated decision systems to determine whether decisions are authorized, attributable, and defensible at execution time.

Most systems can explain what happened.

Few can prove the decision was valid when it was made.

What We Evaluate

Decision Surface Clarity

Where decisions are actually made, influenced, or executed across the system, including implicit boundaries that are not formally defined.

Authority at Execution

Who holds decision rights at the moment of execution, and whether those rights are explicitly defined, enforceable, and resilient under failure conditions.

Replayability Under Scrutiny

Whether a decision can be reconstructed with sufficient fidelity to withstand regulatory, legal, or internal review.

Governance Capacity vs System Behavior

Whether existing governance structures can absorb the volume, speed, and autonomy of system decisions without breakdown.

⸻

Output

A structured, independent assessment of control-plane integrity, including:

• failure modes at the execution boundary

• gaps in authority definition and enforcement

• replayability limitations

• areas of governance risk exposure

⸻

This is not an assessment of model quality or AI capability.

This is an independent evaluation of the control plane governing decisions.
