VEXA — Decision Interface (Layer-7)
Governance evaluation before execution
VEXA is the decision interface concept inside Corevexa’s Layer-7 governance model. It evaluates execution requests against authority rules, risk thresholds, and policy gates — producing an outcome of Allow, Approval Required, or Block before automation runs.
What VEXA Evaluates
VEXA is designed to make governance decisions explicit and auditable. It does not “run” actions — it governs whether downstream systems are permitted to execute. The evaluation is performed as a governance step that sits between a request and an action.
Authority
Verify role, permission scope, and approval hierarchy required for the requested action. Authority is encoded structurally, not implied socially.
Risk
Detect high-risk triggers (exports, irreversible changes, financial impact) and apply thresholds that determine enforcement mode and escalation path.
Policy Gate
Return an outcome: Allow, Approval Required, or Block — then log decision traceability so the decision can be reconstructed and audited.
How It Works
At Layer-7, requests are treated as decision objects, not button clicks. A decision object carries context: what is being requested, who is requesting it, what the impact scope is, and what governance constraints must be applied before execution.
Decision Lifecycle
- 1) Request — an action request enters the governance boundary.
- 2) Evaluate — VEXA checks authority rules, risk thresholds, and policy gates.
- 3) Outcome — Allow / Approval Required / Block is produced.
- 4) Trace — inputs, gates, and outcomes are logged for reconstruction.
Enforcement Modes
- Advisory — informs and recommends; does not prevent execution.
- Guarded — constrains execution; approvals required above thresholds.
- Enforced — blocks or escalates execution when constraints are violated.
Corevexa Governance Standard (CGS)
The Corevexa Governance Standard (CGS) is the structured specification that defines how decision governance should be modeled in AI-enabled organizations. It formalizes the separation between enterprise intent and automated execution by requiring enforceable governance primitives inside the execution pathway.
Decision Object Modeling
Define what a “decision” is, what context it carries, and how it progresses through governance states.
Authority Hierarchies
Encode who can approve, override, escalate, or deny decisions based on role and scope.
Risk Thresholds + Gates
Quantify risk exposure and define thresholds that trigger enforcement mode or escalation.
Governance Audit Pricing (Positioning Block)
Corevexa engagement begins with a structured Governance Audit aligned to CGS. Pricing varies based on scope, number of decision domains, and complexity of authority structures. This page is structured to support a pricing page without making legal or operational promises.
What the audit delivers
- Authority map — roles, permissions, approval pathways.
- Risk model — thresholds, triggers, enforcement modes.
- Policy gates — allow/approve/block logic aligned to CGS.
- Traceability plan — decision logging + audit reconstruction.
Boundary (non-negotiable)
Corevexa defines governance architecture. It does not operate automation tools, execute payments, hold funds, or provide legal/regulatory determinations.
