Finance decision ontology

Enterprise Ontology Explorer

The practical decision graph that lets agents reason from objective to KPI, mission, decision, policy, event, entity, evidence, action, outcome, agent, and learning. This is not only a data-object ontology.

Objective layerCash optimization, working capital, risk reduction, compliance, margin protection, close acceleration

KPI layerDSO, DPO, cash, working capital, close readiness, forecast accuracy, credit exposure

Decision layerApprove invoice, release payment, escalate credit risk, post journal, approve spend, release cash

Learning layerOutcome, value realized, replay record, decision pattern, exception pattern, confidence

Latest Runtime Capability Update

This page is evaluated against the current runtime baseline: governed chat, WIIF assistant portability, Token Economy controls, fail-closed policy enforcement, deterministic replay, signed evidence, runtime adoption audit, skill learning promotion, autonomy demotion enforcement, case-state propagation, and observability readiness.

P2P duplicate example

Invoice received maps to payment-hold decision, duplicate policy, invoice/PO/GR evidence, action boundary, cash protected, and learning pattern.
