What is a policy gate?

A policy gate is a decision point that evaluates whether an AI workflow may proceed, must be blocked, or requires human approval before action.

Why does this matter?

AI governance becomes useful when risk, approval, policy, evidence, and operational ownership are connected in one explainable workflow.

What should executives understand?

Executives should know what AI workflows exist, what systems they touch, what risks they carry, and which actions are blocked or approval-bound.

AI Request Prompt, deployment, action, or promotion
Policy Gate Evaluate risk and control requirements
Decision Allow, deny, or require approval
Human Approval Accountable review for sensitive actions
Evidence Record Decision, reason, and required controls

Example Scenario

An agent may recommend a reorder, but policy denies autonomous purchase-order creation unless a governed human approval path exists.
