Governed Action Records

Governed records for AI-mediated work.

ActBound turns fragmented agent, tool, policy, approval, identity, and runtime evidence into governed records reviewers can trust.

The problem

AI work is becoming harder to reconstruct.

As agents, tools, models, approvals, and human decisions spread across systems, the record of what happened becomes fragmented. Logs exist. Policies exist. Approvals exist. Tool traces exist. But the governed account of the action often has to be rebuilt manually after the fact.

Fragmented evidence

Signals live in logs, policy engines, approval tools, and runtime traces that were never designed to be read together.

Missing context

Raw traces rarely show who was authorized, what was expected, and which decision the action belonged to.

Manual review burden

Reconstructing what happened falls to engineers, security teams, and reviewers after the action is already complete.

Product

GAR: the Governed Action Record

GAR creates a structured record around high-consequence AI-mediated actions. It connects identity, policy, approval, runtime, tool, and evidence signals into a reviewable package that helps teams understand what happened, where evidence matches expectations, and what requires review.

01

Identity

Who or what acted

02

Policy

What was allowed

03

Approval

What was authorized

04

Runtime

What executed

05

Tool Evidence

What it touched

06

Review Record

What reviewers see

How it works

From scattered signals to governed review.

01

Ingest evidence from existing systems

Connect logs, policy engines, approval tools, and runtime traces you already run.

02

Normalize actions into canonical records

Resolve scattered signals into a single canonical account of the action.

03

Compare against expected evidence profiles

Check each record against the evidence that should be present.

04

Export reviewable packages

Give reviewers a coherent package for human review, audit, or escalation.

Use cases

Built for sensitive AI workflows.

Agentic tool use

Record what autonomous agents requested, were allowed to do, and actually executed.

Security review

Give reviewers a coherent account of sensitive actions instead of scattered logs.

Policy and approval reconciliation

See where policy, approvals, and execution agree — and where they diverge.

Regulated workflow review

Assemble defensible records for workflows that face external scrutiny.

Incident reconstruction

Rebuild what happened across systems when an action needs to be explained.

Enterprise AI governance

Standardize how high-consequence AI actions are recorded, reconciled, and reviewed.

Trust boundary

A record layer, not a magic oracle.

ActBound does not replace runtime controls, SIEMs, GRC systems, policy engines, or human judgment. It helps teams assemble and reconcile the governed record of an action so reviewers can see where evidence is coherent, incomplete, conflicted, or missing.

Coherent

Evidence lines up across signals.

Partial

Some expected evidence is missing.

Conflicted

Signals disagree about what happened.

Unpaired

An action has no matching record.

Audience

For teams responsible for accountable AI systems.

AI platform teams

Own how agents and tools act in production.

Security teams

Review sensitive actions and investigate incidents.

Risk and compliance teams

Need defensible records of what occurred.

Enterprise architecture teams

Standardize controls across AI systems.

Legal and audit stakeholders

Require a clear account after the fact.

Design partners

Looking for high-consequence workflows to pressure-test.

Looking for high-consequence workflows to pressure-test.

ActBound is seeking design partners with real AI-agent, sensitive tool-use, security review, or regulated workflow environments. The goal is to pressure-test GAR against actual evidence patterns, review needs, and institutional constraints.
