THE GOVERNANCE BRIEF · PUBLISHED BY DUTYGRAPH

Understand the work.
Govern the agents.

Practical lessons for leaders and advisors deciding where AI belongs—and who remains responsible.

Planned twice monthly. Clear explanations, useful questions, and an honest look at what is being built.

A useful brief, not another pile of headlines.

Each edition will explain one governance question, offer a practical example, and point to resources worth examining. Product updates from DutyGraph will be clearly labeled.

We publish the newsletter and the governance directory. Vendor coverage does not imply endorsement, partnership, or a tested integration. We will distinguish sourced developments, our analysis, and product demonstrations.

PREVIEW EDITION · EDITORIAL DRAFT · NOT SENT

Before you approve the agent, describe the task.

“We need an agent for supplier onboarding” is a starting point. It is not yet a clear job.

Does the agent collect a packet, prepare a draft record, verify bank details, or activate the supplier? Each step has a different input, output, and reason for access. Putting them under one broad label makes the review harder.

Try this in the next discovery conversation

Ask the person to walk through one recent example: what arrived, what they did, what they produced, where it went, and which software they used. Then ask what was missing or frustrating.

Turn that account into a short task description and let the person correct it. Their confirmation means that it reflects their understanding. It does not grant access or resolve a disagreement with another department.

The question to bring to an approver

“Which exact part of this task may be delegated, and what must remain with a person?” A specific answer is more useful than a broad automation label.

Inside DutyGraph · Product note

Our participant flow lets a person explain their work, review extracted task cards, and send the cards with their account to the advisor. The advisor still checks evidence and unresolved responsibilities. We are recruiting initial pilots to test the usefulness and delivery effort of this method.
