Your systems control the action: MeshQu returns an advisory verdict. The rules come from the approved policy; the receipt records that policy version, the supplied context and the outcome. Bring your own agent through MeshQu’s OAuth-secured MCP server or documented API. Availability is for research, evaluation and design-partner deployments.","explanation":"Start with one consequential decision and the policy behind it. The homepage illustrates supplier onboarding: a missing tax registration certificate sends the supplier for review, a later assessment can be linked to the first, and the final call and its rationale can be recorded. This is illustrative example data, not a customer deployment. In the sidecar shape your workflow continues to control the action while MeshQu assesses and records alongside it. In the in-path shape your application asks for a policy verdict before an action, then proceeds, requests review or stops. Evaluation alone does not persist a decision; recording is the operation that keeps the decision and receipt. Evidence content remains with its custodian: MeshQu binds supplied references and digests. Actor identifiers are supplied by your systems and are not authenticated by MeshQu. Qu, the assistant on this website, explains MeshQu and can help you scope a 30-minute mapping call. It cannot see your organisation’s records. Questions about recorded decisions are illustrative and depend on what a deployment records and makes available. The Solutions pages illustrate AI agent governance, human-in-the-loop automation and enhanced due diligence; these are applications, not claims of deployed sector coverage.","applications":[{"value":"Map a decision that is made often, has costly errors, draws on evidence from several places, and may need an explanation later."},{"value":"Use supplier onboarding as one illustrative question; trade and credit, payments, insurance and AI-agent actions are other candidate decisions to assess with the team, not claims of deployed sector coverage."},{"value":"Answer a reviewer from the recorded policy, context, outcome, actor assertions and evidence references behind an assessment."},{"value":"Inspect patterns only in the decisions and fields a deployment actually records and exposes; illustrative Qu questions do not establish a live records integration."}],"limitations":[{"value":"Your systems control the action.
