Disclosures arrive via webhook and are processed by a central Governance Agent with persistent memory, supported by four specialised AI sub-agents: Ethics Monitoring Agent (flags policy breaches), Investigation Agent (conducts structured inquiry), Reporting Agent (generates case summaries), and Escalation Agent (determines escalation need). Shared tools include Audit Trail Storage, Policy Database API, and Slack Notification Tool. A Governance Output Parser structures results for a Risk Level Router, which splits cases into critical and standard tracks. Critical cases trigger Slack alerts to the oversight team; all cases are stored and merged before a final response is dispatched. This eliminates manual triage, ensures consistent policy application, and maintains a complete audit trail for regulatory accountability."
