Document each movement step where asset transfer can occur without explicit, multi-factor policy verification.
Surface Mapping and Risk Audit
Map how movement happens today, where control is weak, and where graceful degradation creates silent release risk.
Review error-handling behavior to identify fail-open paths and permissive manual overrides.
Classify components into AI (judgment), Governed Agent (accountability), and actuator endpoint (embodiment).
Policy Knowledge Graph (PKG) Design
Define the initial closed-world policy model where anything not explicitly allowed is blocked.
Set minimum-privilege profiles for Governed Agents, operators, and physical actuator endpoints in scope.
Map safe physical zones and release windows required for authorization.
Draft initial closed-world rules so only explicitly permitted actions can pass policy.
Custody and Evidence Modeling
Define what evidence is required at every transition to support replayable compliance and partner trust.
Specify verifiable receipt requirements per transition, such as seal scans, endpoint signatures, and identity stamps.
Define telemetry needed to reconstruct black-box playback for every custody state change.
Design quarantine and rollback behavior for broken seals, blocked handlers, and unauthorized location drift.
Implementation Roadmap
Convert governance design into a pilot with a bounded scope, concrete interfaces, and measurable outcomes.
Draft the schema a Governed Agent submits to the Policy Decision Point before any movement is authorized.
Select one isolated high-value lot or vault zone as the first runtime deployment boundary.
Sequence implementation milestones for policy rollout, telemetry activation, and live exception testing.
- Workflow risk map with silent-release points and fail-open findings
- Initial PKG rule baseline with role, zone, and time constraints
- Custody evidence model with replay and audit telemetry requirements
- Pilot boundary and phased implementation roadmap
Start the review with one workflow that has real inventory, compliance, or operational consequences.
