Who it’s for

CTOs and AI platform leaders

Establish the controls that let useful agent work move beyond a prototype.

CISOs and security teams

See where access, tool use, and evidence need a more reliable boundary.

Compliance, risk, and governance leaders

Create a practical view of operational authority before it becomes a policy exception.

Teams moving agents into real operations

Assess the shift from model experiments to actions that affect customers and systems.

Why this matters

A prompt is not an authority system.

Prompts and output filters help guide language. They do not reliably determine what an agent can retrieve, call, change, approve, or send once it is connected to real systems.

The assessment helps your team identify where operational authority remains unclear—and which controls can make it visible and enforceable. Tandem places policy between AI agents and the tools, data, memory, and actions they use.

The model proposes. The runtime enforces.
