Layer 3 of the Trust Fabric.
Smartflow is the runtime governance layer of the APERION Trust Fabric. The architecture composes Identity Proofing (Layer 1), Access Governance (Layer 2), Runtime Governance (Layer 3), and Audit & Evidence (Layer 4).
Workflow agent platforms like ServiceNow AICT and Microsoft Agent 365 sit parallel. Smartflow governs what the agent sends to the model. Not what workflow the agent runs.
