Governance Failure Radar

Documenting and analyzing public AI governance failures.

The Radar turns incidents into prevention models. For each public failure, ExecLayer identifies what happened, why the controls failed, and where deterministic runtime governance would have blocked or escalated the action.

What the Radar Measures

Missing authority boundary

Many incidents occur because generated intent can reach tools before a policy gate evaluates whether the action is authorized.

Unverifiable governance

Logs may describe a failure, but they rarely prove the policy state, decision path, and authorization result for each action.

Escalation failure

Human oversight often becomes a dashboard review after the fact instead of a runtime escalation requirement before high-risk execution.

Evidence gap

Without signed receipts, organizations cannot show that a specific AI decision passed the required governance checks.

From Failure Analysis to Measurement

The Radar is the incident side of the same thesis behind the Agentic Governance Benchmark: governance has to be measured at runtime, not described in policy language after the system has already acted.
