The Problem
Lost, Incomplete, or Confusing Audit Evidence
Most organizations struggle to answer auditor questions quickly. Evidence is scattered, reasoning is lost, policies are unclear, and authority chains are incomplete
Scattered Evidence
Audit evidence exists in emails, tickets, and multiple systems, making retrieval slow and error-prone
Lost Reasoning
The “why” behind decisions is often undocumented, creating uncertainty during audits and reviews
Policy Confusion
It’s unclear which policy versions applied at the time of approval or action
Broken Authority Chains
Approval hierarchies and authority records are incomplete or missing, creating accountability gaps
Audit evidence is scattered, reasoning is lost, policies unclear, and authority chains incomplete

Exception Discount Audit
An auditor asks why a 20% discount was approved for Acme Corp when the policy cap is 10%. The Audit Agent immediately gathers the full Decision Trace, policy version, and authority chain. Supporting evidence includes SEV-1 incident records and exception clauses, giving auditors complete reasoning. No manual reconstruction is needed, and all details are traceable and organized for instant review
See How Context Is EnforcedPrior Precedent Verification
The agent also identifies previous similar exceptions, such as D-987, confirming consistent decision-making across comparable cases and maintaining compliance with policy clauses. All historical approvals, supporting incidents, and authority levels are included, creating a full, auditable package that answers every auditor question clearly and defensibly
