Evidence-first answers
Key answer flows are built around citations, source context, and traceable reasoning rather than unsupported assistant output.
Security and governance
Trust boundaries for evidence-first AI workflows
Productelligence is built so teams can inspect evidence, control writes, and trace how a recommendation, draft, or governed output was produced.
This page describes the product controls visible in the current app: citation-backed answers, proposal-first writes, approval events, tool policies, encrypted secrets, and audit-friendly traces.
Evidence
Citations and traces show what an answer used.
Control
Write-capable actions stay proposal-first and approval-aware.
Boundary
Tenant, project, and tool policies constrain what can run.
Governed writes
READ flows retrieve context. WRITE-capable flows are designed to propose changes first and can require approval before anything consequential is applied.
Visible audit trail
Approvals, release decisions, knowledge updates, and run traces create an inspectable event trail instead of silent automation.
Stored to operate the product
- Project artifacts, chunks, and retrieval context used for citation-backed answers.
- Validation outputs, approval tasks, approval events, and governed workflow records.
- Membership, project, and permission data needed for tenant and project access checks.
- Integration and provider secrets in encrypted form when they are configured in the app.
Protected and constrained by default
- Users do not cross tenant or project boundaries without the corresponding membership and permissions.
- Tool policies and allowlists define which tools are available in a given context.
- Governed writes do not bypass approval flows when approval is required for that action.
- Visible outputs redact secrets instead of echoing stored credential values back to users.
Controls in practice
What Productelligence makes inspectable
The goal is not invisible automation. The goal is fast delivery with enough context and control to answer hard questions later.
Answer provenance
Citations and run traces show what evidence supported the output.
Approval history
Approval tasks and events record who accepted or rejected a governed change.
Policy boundaries
Tool policies enforce allowlisted access patterns instead of open-ended execution.
Secret handling
Stored secrets are encrypted at rest and redacted in user-facing output paths.
Operational promise
You should be able to answer four questions quickly.
What changed?
Why did it change?
Which evidence supported it?
Who approved it?
Build living project knowledge your whole team can trust.
Cut recurring meetings, see scope change impact before it hurts delivery, and keep timezone-safe handoffs moving with Productelligence.
