An examiner walks in and asks who authorized your AI agent to act. Most regulated organizations cannot produce the record. I research the evidence that answers the question before it is asked.
The clearest example I remember was a governance review where the organization had every monitoring tool available. Every alert. Every log. Every dashboard.
What they did not have was a single document saying who had authorized the agent to access that data in the first place. That document would have taken forty minutes to write. The remediation took four months.
That is what this site is for. Not frameworks for their own sake. It is for the document that takes forty minutes to write and prevents four months of repair.

Your Logs Pass the Audit. Survive the Examiner.
The governance lead pulled the agent logs and found them spotless. Every interaction captured, every field change timestamped and attributed. None of it could answer the question an examiner actually asks, which is who authorized the specific business decision the agent made. Comprehensive logging and accountability turn out to be different exhibits, and most systems of record can produce only the first.
