Security pattern

Problem
Requests and documents arrive across email/chat; manual extraction and routing is slow and error-prone.
Example workflow steps
- Capture inbound requests and route to a structured intake workflow.
- Extract key fields into a standardized schema.
- Run validation checks; flag exceptions for review.
- Route to approvers; apply approvals before any downstream updates.
- Write back to system-of-record and store artifacts in approved content system.
Data boundaries
- No financial approvals performed automatically.
- Write actions require explicit approval and are limited to specific endpoints.
Typical rollout
- Pilot: one intake type (e.g., vendor requests) and one approval chain
- Scale: additional document types and workflows
Governance note: Write actions should be approval-gated and executed only with scoped, dedicated credentials.
Avoid shared gateways for mixed-trust users; segment by boundary.
