Why Approval Workflows?

Balance AI automation with human oversight for optimal business outcomes

Risk Management

High-value decisions require approval (e.g., orders > €10,000)

Compliance

Regulatory requirements for human oversight

Quality Control

Ensure AI recommendations align with business strategy

Accountability

Clear audit trail of who approved what

Flexibility

Different approval rules for different scenarios

Efficiency

80-90% of actions auto-approved, 10-20% require human review

How It Works

A simple 6-step process that ensures optimal decision-making

1

AI Generates Recommendation

BrainPredict AI analyzes data and generates a recommendation (e.g., purchase order, price change)

2

Check Approval Policy

System checks if the recommendation requires approval based on configured policies

3

Route for Approval

If approval required, notification sent to designated approvers via email, Slack, or Teams

4

Approver Reviews

Approver reviews recommendation, context, and AI confidence score

5

Decision Made

Approver approves, rejects, or requests changes with comments

6

Action Executed

If approved, action is executed automatically. If rejected, AI learns from feedback
