When the decision is questioned, the record answers.
A regulator opens an inquiry. A board asks why. A program fails and nobody can reconstruct the call that started it. MagnaRix gives your institution a structured record for every consequential decision: the reasoning, the approval chain, the AI contributions, and the assumptions, preserved in one place from the moment the decision is formed.
The Decision Canvas
The Decision Canvas is the core record in MagnaRix. Each canvas captures the question at hand, the context in which it arose, the options evaluated, the criteria applied, the evidence consulted, the assumptions accepted, the approval chain engaged, the AI contributions made, and the reasoning behind the conclusion. It is a complete record, not a summary or a title.
A Decision Canvas is built to be useful not only when the decision is made, but six months later when a team member asks why the platform was chosen, two years later when a regulator requests documented support, and five years later when a successor is considering whether to reverse a foundational call.
A precise articulation of what is being decided
The conditions, pressures, and history that frame the decision
All meaningful alternatives considered, with their merits and drawbacks
The explicit basis on which options were compared
Linked materials, analysis, and data that informed the reasoning
Conditions assumed true at the time, with confidence levels
The substantive reasoning behind the final choice
Known risks associated with the decision and how they are addressed
Who held decision rights, who advised, and who ratified the outcome
Who carried the decision under uncertainty, on what basis, and with what acknowledged risk
Where AI assistance contributed to the reasoning, attributed in the record
What this decision depends on, what it influences, and what it supersedes
The conditions that should prompt this decision to be revisited
Built for how decisions actually work in an institution
Structured Rationale Capture
Record not only what was decided, but the reasoning behind it: the options considered, the evidence examined, the trade-offs weighed, and the assumptions that supported the choice.
Alternatives and Trade-offs
Document rejected paths alongside the chosen one. When a regulator or board asks what else was considered, the full option space is in the record, not buried in forgotten attachments.
Assumption Logging
Decisions rest on conditions that may not persist. MagnaRix records those conditions explicitly, with confidence levels and triggers for re-evaluation when the ground shifts.
Evidence Linkage
Attach source materials, analysis, data, and supporting documentation directly to the decision record. The context that justified the conclusion stays with it.
Preserved Through Time
Decisions move through stages: proposed, under review, active, superseded, archived. Every transition is recorded with attribution; the full history can be reconstructed at any point.
Audit-Ready History
Reconstruct any decision at any point in its history. See what was known when, who contributed, what AI assistance participated, and how the decision evolved, all from a single record.
AI that works inside your approval process.
MagnaRix includes purpose-built reasoning aids that participate in the decision process under the same approval rules that govern people. Each AI contribution is attributed to the model, bounded by the authority structure of the decision, and preserved in the record. None operates outside the governance that holds the decision itself. Permissions, review, and accountability apply uniformly to people and AI alike.
When AI is unavailable, the platform's core capabilities continue to operate. The system does not depend on an outside vendor. The attribution model is described further in Advisory Intelligence.
Examining the decision
Expand thin or missing risks into structured form. Identify assumptions that are fragile, hidden, or in tension. Trace what the decision commits the institution to downstream.
Drawing on precedent
Bring forward prior decisions whose domain or direction is relevant to the question at hand. Score and compare alternatives against stated criteria and trade-offs.
Readying for authorization
Produce an assessment of where the decision stands before it goes to approval: what evidence is missing, what conditions would warrant escalation, what would invalidate the path being chosen.
Approval explicit at every stage of the decision.
MagnaRix structures the decision workflow from initiation through approval and into the final record. The right people are in the loop at each stage, with a complete trail of who reviewed, who approved, and when. The full governance detail is described in Governance & Approval.
Collaborative Authoring
Multiple contributors can shape a decision record at the same time, with authority-aware edit rights and version control that preserves the full contribution history.
Review and Approval Flows
Define multi-stage review processes aligned with your governance model. Decisions route to the right people at the right time, with a complete record of who reviewed and approved.
Notification and Escalation
Configurable notification logic routes time-sensitive decisions to the right people without waiting on manual follow-up. Escalation paths are defined in advance rather than improvised under pressure.
