ExplainerThe label 'agentic' is applied unevenly. This explainer separates four forms of software by what they can do on their own — and what oversight each requires.

White PaperA practical, original framework covering use-case selection, data classification, minimum permissions, vendor assessment, approval gates, logging, incident response, review, and retirement — with a governance checklist.

Workflow AnalysisNot every step needs a checkpoint, but the right ones do. A decision matrix for when review can be retrospective, when preapproval fits, and when automation should not proceed.
