Architecture

The control plane between policy decisions and execution.

PolicyFabric is strongest when the architecture needs one governed layer between request systems, policy decision systems, and execution systems.

What PF is responsible for

  • Turning PolicyOutcome into governed planning behavior in supported scope
  • Applying approval-aware control before runnable execution
  • Coordinating deterministic execution behavior
  • Preserving evidence and explainability across the request path

What PF is not responsible for

  • Direct policy evaluation logic
  • Identity system-of-record behavior
  • Generic workflow modeling
  • Broad checkpoint orchestration today

Current scope

Implemented product surface, not future platform vision.

Implemented

Persisted plans, deterministic execution semantics, approval-aware planning, and policy-evidence reads.

Partially transitional

PolicyOutcome to plan bridge behavior and planner constraints as the semantic seam.

Not claimed here

Full checkpoint runtime enforcement, generalized workflow behavior, or provider-side exactly-once semantics.

From architecture to proof

The clearest supported example is approval-aware JIT privileged access.
