AI governance needs visibility in operational context.

Cortex helps organisations make AI-enabled activity more visible, traceable and reviewable as part of governed AI operations.

Why observability matters

Visibility for governance, not generic monitoring.

AI can become difficult to govern when activity is separated from operational context. Leaders and assurance teams need to understand where AI is operating, what systems and data are involved, what authority applies and what evidence exists. The purpose is governance visibility — helping organisations review, understand and improve AI governance as operational use increases.
