This flow stays in-product and focuses on guided approvals instead of API-level implementation details.
Why this gate point: RAG governance is clearest between retrieval and synthesis where source quality and citation completeness are known.
Teams can monitor request status, review outcomes, and governance checkpoints without needing implementation details.
Start governance early so every milestone stays connected in one timeline.
Every key milestone is recorded in an immutable timeline for clear review and accountability.
Use the review outcome to continue, revise, or stop work with full accountability.
