Feature
Apply consistent rules to important work.
Pailon evaluates actions using clear policies, permissions, facts, risk, and business context.
Overview
Important actions should not be handled differently depending on where the request started. Pailon gives teams a consistent decision layer across people, AI agents, workflows, and systems.
Policies can decide whether an action is allowed, denied, routed for approval, or requires additional authentication.
