Governance

AI that knows where its authority ends.

Cliff helps prepare and coordinate work inside explicit boundaries. Material decisions remain with the people who hold authority.

Governed by design

Accountability is built into how Cliff works.

Your people confirm the rules and permissions. Supported routine actions can proceed within those boundaries; material decisions and exceptions require review. Company documents and inferred behaviour provide context, not authority.

  • Defined permissionsClear boundaries around who and what can act.
  • Human approvalsMaterial decisions stay with accountable people.
  • Evidence and visibilityA clear record of actions, outcomes and attention required.
  • Escalation by designExceptions move to the right person instead of disappearing.

The control chain

From preparation to accountable completion.

  1. Prepare

    Assemble the work and relevant context.

  2. Check authority

    Check approved permissions. Route material decisions for human approval.

  3. Act or escalate

    Carry out the supported, authorised step or surface the exception.

  4. Record

    Maintain visibility of what happened and what remains open.

Decision boundaries

Support the decision. Do not obscure the decision-maker.
