The idea in one paragraph

Most governance stops at the register: it can describe AI risk but cannot stop a bad action. Most agent tooling can act but cannot show it was authorised. Cogna8 joins the two. The same AI systems, controls and evidence that make up your governance programme are used at runtime, so when an agent proposes a consequential action, the decision to allow, require approval or block is made against your controls and recorded as evidence.
