Different Departments, Different Autonomy

A CIO asked me last week:

"How do I give Marketing full AI automation while keeping Legal on human approval?"

Most platforms: "You can't. Pick one mode for the whole org."

Our platform: "Easy. Set autonomy policies per department."


Here's what enterprise AI control actually looks like:


**Marketing: Near-full autonomy**

- AI runs campaigns autonomously

- Human approval only for budget > $10K

- Weekly review, not daily oversight


**Legal: AI-assisted only**

- AI drafts all documents

- Attorneys approve everything

- Full audit trail for compliance


**Sales: Supervised automation**

- AI handles quotes < $50K

- Escalates above $50K

- Learns which deals need human touch


**Support: Full automation (Tier 1) / Supervised (Enterprise)**

- Full automation for Tier 1 tickets

- Supervised for enterprise customers

- Exception-based human involvement


One platform. One policy engine. Per-department autonomy.

This is what enterprise AI governance actually requires.

Not one mode for everyone.

Configurable control for each team's reality.
