It doesn't deny, approve or close on its own. The workflow puts human checkpoints at every decision, records who decided, and keeps AI-generated text visibly marked until a person accepts it. In the public sector, this is about legitimacy as much as risk: citizens are entitled to an accountable decision-maker.\n\n## Controls designed in\n\n- Role-based access to sensitive case data\n- Conflict-of-interest checks on assignment\n- A complete audit history of every change, view and decision\n- Retention and disclosure rules configured per case type\n\n## Integrations\n\nCitizen or customer portals, national identity and SSO, document management, CRM or registry systems, payment systems for fees, and messaging services.\n\n## Where it applies\n\nGovernment and public services, financial services complaints and disputes, insurance claims triage, HR case management and enterprise service teams.
