Governance and Confidentiality

A judgement needs
visible controls.

Decision Diligence is useful only if its reasoning can be challenged, its limits remain explicit and responsibility for release is clear.

01 / Public controls
  1. 01

    Decision established

    The decision is explicitly established before the case is tested.

  2. 02

    Identity protected

    An evidence gap or dependency cannot silently replace the governing decision.

  3. 03

    Evidence separated

    Known, assumed and unresolved matters remain visibly distinct.

  4. 04

    Gaps named

    Missing evidence is identified; it is not disguised as confidence.

  5. 05

    Opposing case required

    The strongest credible argument against the emerging recommendation is mandatory.

  6. 06

    Conditions explicit

    Conditions for proceeding, pausing or stopping are stated.

  7. 07

    Change triggers visible

    The record states what would change the answer.

  8. 08

    Action and inaction tested

    The consequences of proceeding and not proceeding are both examined.

  9. 09

    Confidence bounded

    Confidence cannot exceed the evidence that supports it.

  10. 10

    Human accountable release

    A human mandate holder remains accountable for the issued judgement.

Accountable release

Technology can support the work.
It cannot hold the mandate.

Cortavian is operator-assisted and human-accountable. The issued recommendation is reviewed and released under a human mandate; responsibility is not delegated to a model or presented as an automated answer.

02 / Confidential handling

Only what the mandate requires.

The intended decision, evidence boundary, participants and reporting route are agreed before substantive work begins.

Material is handled for the agreed engagement purpose. Access, retention, disclosure and any third-party requirements are addressed in the written scope. Conflicts and suitability are checked before a mandate is accepted.

This page states operating principles; the engagement letter governs the specific matter.

Before commitment

Have a decision worth testing?

Start with a confidential suitability conversation. No work begins until the scope, route, timing and fee are agreed in writing.
