Approval Briefs™

A human approves the action, not a wall of logs.

An AI agent is about to do something consequential. Approval Briefs™ turns that pending action into one plain-language page. Your reviewer sees what the agent wants to do and why. They approve, reject, or escalate in seconds. The decision is sealed as replay-verifiable evidence. Reviews that took an hour of log-reading now take under a minute.

The problem in one sentence

When an AI agent asks a human to sign off, the human usually gets raw logs instead of a decision.

Raw logs make the reviewer the integrator. They must reconstruct intent from event traces. That work is slow and error-prone. It is also hard to defend in an audit. Approval Briefs™ flips this. KYE Protocol™ already knows the purpose, the scope, the claimed authority, and the evidence behind a pending action. The brief presents exactly that. It fits one screen. It uses words a busy approver can read.

What a brief contains

Each brief is the same shape every time, so reviewers build a habit instead of solving a new puzzle.

  • The action. What the agent wants to do, in plain language.
  • The purpose. The bound Purpose Permission™ the action runs under.
  • The authority. What the agent may do, and where this action sits inside that.
  • The evidence. The Evidence Pack™ the agent assembled, linked for one-click inspection.
  • The choices. Approve, reject, or escalate. Each requires a reason.

How it fits GovernedUI™

Approval Briefs™ is the approval-brief module of KYE™ GovernedUI™, the human-control surface for AI-agent authority.

KYE™ GovernedUI™ governs how a person sees an AI action, approves it, rejects it, edits it, or escalates it. Approval Briefs™ is the artefact that person reads at the moment of decision. It honours every GovernedUI™ approval mode. Those modes are single approver, two-person, two-person with legal, delegated, and automatic. The mode is set by policy. The agent asking for sign-off never sets it.

The decision becomes evidence

Every approval, rejection, and escalation is sealed the moment it happens.

The reviewer's choice produces a signed, replay-verifiable record. An auditor can confirm later who approved what, under which authority, and on what basis. They check it using public keys alone. There is no separate evidence step to remember. The brief is the evidence. This is the artefact a regulator inspects when they ask who authorised an AI-driven action.

The value for your team

Approval Briefs™ cuts the cost of human oversight without lowering its standard.

  • Faster sign-off. A one-page brief takes under a minute, not an hour of log-reading.
  • Fewer mistakes. A consistent layout means reviewers stop missing the detail that matters.
  • Audit-ready by default. The sealed decision drops exam prep from days to minutes.
  • Real human control. Oversight scales with your agent fleet instead of becoming a rubber stamp.

How it is sold
