Can you prove a human reviewed that AI recommendation?

Log human oversight decisions. Meet EU AI Act Article 14. Pass your next audit.

Ad-hoc governance doesn't scale

The EU AI Act requires documented human oversight for high-risk AI

Your team reviews AI outputs informally but there's no paper trail

Auditors will ask 'how do you ensure human oversight?' and you need evidence

Automation bias is real - you need proof that humans can and do override AI

From chaos to process

Most organizations have no formal process for AI tool adoption. Someone in marketing discovers a new tool. They sign up. They start using it. IT finds out months later.

This creates inconsistency, risk, and compliance gaps. EU AI Act requires documented governance. Ad-hoc approaches don’t qualify.

Structured review workflows

Armadillo Review provides a framework for consistent AI governance:

Policy Definition Define clear criteria for AI tool approval:

  • Required security certifications
  • Data handling requirements
  • Compliance standards
  • Cost thresholds
  • Business justification requirements

Triage Rules Not every tool needs full review. Configure rules to:

  • Auto-approve low-risk, common tools
  • Fast-track tools already approved for other teams
  • Require full review for high-risk categories

Multi-Stakeholder Review Route reviews to the right people:

  • IT Security for security assessment
  • Legal for contract and compliance review
  • Finance for cost approval
  • Business owner for business case validation

Decision Documentation Every decision is recorded:

  • Who requested the tool and why
  • Who reviewed and when
  • What concerns were raised
  • Why it was approved or rejected
  • Any conditions or restrictions

Audit-ready documentation

When regulators ask about your AI governance:

  • Complete inventory: Every tool, approved or not
  • Decision history: Full trail of every review
  • Policy documentation: Clear criteria and processes
  • Exception records: How edge cases were handled

This documentation meets EU AI Act requirements for AI governance.

User-friendly process

Good governance shouldn’t block productivity. Review is designed to be fast:

  • Clear timelines: Users know when to expect decisions
  • Transparent status: Real-time visibility into review progress
  • Escalation paths: Clear process for urgent needs
  • Appeal process: Fair handling of rejections

The goal is governance that enables safe AI adoption, not governance that blocks progress.
