May It Be Done?
Governance answers one question: may it be done?Governance verdicts are durable, auditable, and traceable to identity, policy, and Work. Hermes never executes without one.
What Governance Evaluates
- Who is requesting — user, Twin, or agent identity, with what roles and delegation.
- What is being requested — which capability, with what inputs and side-effects.
- In what Work and Business Context — not ambiently; every plan is scoped to a Work and a Business Context slice.
- Under which policy — tenant, Work-type, and capability policies, including approval thresholds.
- With what evidence shape — what receipt is expected, and how verification will judge outcome.
Verdicts
