Decision Control System

A control layer that enforces, structures, and records human oversight

Decision Control System: Minimal Schema v0

The presence of a reviewer does not prove meaningful oversight. This specification defines three primitives: a Decision Gate that holds decisions before outcome release, a Human Review Session that structures and records the review context, and a Decision Provenance Record that seals the evidence. Together they make oversight a provable record, not an assumption.

Decision Record

A minimal schema for capturing machine-driven decisions as auditable events

Decision Record: Minimal Schema v0

Modern systems make decisions by combining data, models, rules, and context. What is often missing is a way to capture that decision as a single, coherent event. This schema defines a minimal structure covering identity, inputs, features, model, rules, context, outcome, intervention, and integrity, so decisions can be examined, verified, and if necessary, reproduced.
