Halt a live agent
Seconds
Who can halt a live agent within seconds, without convening a committee? Evidence infrastructure gives every gated agent a revocable authorization and a unilateral halt.
Data Brief · For the Chief Data Officer
Accountable by construction.
Your agents act (moving data, changing records, deciding) and the organization is liable for all of it. Evidence infrastructure, powered by the Provenance Neural Engine (PNE), gives you the CFO's controls for the agent stack: governed meaning, constraints that fire before action, and an audit trail you can reconstruct.
Data & AI governance · The agentic mandate
AI agents no longer just answer: they act, faster than anyone can review, and the organization is liable for what they do. Accuracy isn't the issue: a prediction-based agent working from perfect data can still act outside what it was ever allowed to do. The controls you have were built for people at human pace. What's missing is a layer that governs what agents may know and do, fires before they act, and can reconstruct every decision after: a layer that sits on top of the data estate you already have and moves nothing. That layer is evidence infrastructure.
Three gaps between a demo and a governed agent.
The mandate no one holds
The exposure
Agent governance is scattered across IT, business units, and vendor platforms with no single point of accountability. The CFO owns the chart of accounts, the ledger, the controls, and the audit trail. For your agents, no one owns the equivalent.
How evidence infrastructure answers
Evidence infrastructure is that equivalent, function for function: a governed ontology (the definitions), a knowledge graph (the record), constraints that fire before an agent acts (the controls), and a provenance chain (the audit trail). One layer, one point of accountability: yours.
Controls built for human pace
The exposure
Your three lines of defense (operations, risk & compliance, internal audit) all review after the action, on human time. An agent moves data or changes a record in milliseconds; a periodic review can't catch what already cleared.
How evidence infrastructure answers
At its heart, the PNE enforces constraints deterministically before the agent acts: nothing becomes a record of action until it clears a provenanced, human-attestable gate. Constraints fire at machine speed; every decision is reconstructable within the hour, not the quarter.
Sovereignty that collapses to the vendor
The exposure
If your ontology, constraints, and provenance live inside a vendor's platform, you can't change a rule on your schedule or prove an agent ran as specified, and a rip-and-replace data platform is a second stranded migration.
How evidence infrastructure answers
Evidence infrastructure is built on open standards (W3C PROV-O, SHACL, NGSI-LD) and is federated: the governed meaning, the constraints, and the evidence are yours and portable, and the architecture sits on top of your existing lake and moves no data. You hold the mandate; the vendor doesn't.
Questions your board must be able to answer.
Reconstruct what it did
24 hours
Can you reconstruct what an agent was authorized to do within a day of an incident? The PNE's provenance chain makes it minutes, not a forensics project.
Not the vendor's word
Your evidence
Do you have independent proof agents ran as specified, or only the vendor's assurance? Open-standards provenance is evidence you own and can port.
Provenance Neural Engine™ is a trademark of Scientix.ai Inc. The "three lines of defense" is the standard IIA governance model; the structural line that fires before an agent acts, the CFO-of-the-agent-stack parallel, and the open-standards sovereignty argument are ScientixAI analysis. Evidence infrastructure moves no data.
Liability is absolute; the mandate must match it.
After any agent-driven loss, the first question a board faces is whether it governed a known risk. Three lines of defense that review after the fact are not an answer: the loss has already cleared. Evidence infrastructure is the structural line that fires before the agent acts and records every decision it makes: it governs the meaning, enforces the constraint, and holds the evidence. That is the difference between a calculable damage envelope and an open-ended one.
The next step.
Bring us one agent you're about to deploy. We'll show you the governed meaning it reasons over, the constraint that fires before it acts, and the evidence chain you can hand your board: the mandate, made real, on the data estate you already have.
