Decisions before agents take consequential action.
SignGate evaluates an agent’s intent, authority, mandate, policy constraints, behavioral context, transaction context, counterparty signals, and supporting evidence before an action proceeds.
One decision boundary across many kinds of agent action.
Payment is the first operational reference scenario. Additional action types are evaluated according to enterprise policy and integration requirements.
INTENT
What is the agent trying to do?
AUTHORITY
Who granted authority, and under which mandate?
POLICY
Which limits, conditions, tools, data, counterparties, and approvals apply?
BEHAVIOR
Is the activity consistent with prior behavior and the stated mandate?
TRANSACTION CONTEXT
What value, resource, asset movement, or contract interaction is involved?
COUNTERPARTY
What signals describe the service, account, merchant, or external party?
EVIDENCE
Which identity, risk, service, and external signals support the decision?
SignGate evaluates intent and authority, applies policy, combines risk and behavioral evidence, and returns a structured decision with an execution directive.
Keep the current contract explicit—and planned extensions separate.
