Govern
An organization that can trust and audit its reasoning
The problem
As reasoning is delegated to systems, an organization needs to know who is allowed to decide what, on whose authority, and how any conclusion can be explained and audited after the fact.

Practical implications
- Make every consequential conclusion explainable — traceable back to the evidence and authority behind it.
- Bind authority to identity: who may decide, and within what limits, should be explicit.
- Keep an audit trail that survives the people and systems that produced it.
