An examiner walks in and asks who authorized your AI agent to act.
Most regulated organizations cannot produce the record. This site is for the practitioner frameworks, authorization artifacts, and field notes that make that answer easier to find before the review starts.
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.
