Governance
AI that knows where its authority ends.
Cliff helps prepare and coordinate work inside explicit boundaries. Material decisions remain with the people who hold authority.

Governed by design
Accountability is built into how Cliff works.
Governance is not a policy added after the workflow. It shapes what Cliff can prepare, what requires approval, what evidence is retained and when an exception must be escalated.
- Defined permissionsClear boundaries around who and what can act.
- Human approvalsMaterial decisions stay with accountable people.
- Evidence and visibilityA clear record of actions, outcomes and attention required.
- Escalation by designExceptions move to the right person instead of disappearing.
