Evidence That Controls and Procedures Operate as Documented
Pyze compares observed execution of work with the documented procedure across the full population of cases, so evidence of control operation does not rely on sampling.
Structural facts about the method, not engagement outcomes or guarantees. Coverage depends on the applications in scope and on how complete the procedure documents are.
Compliance leaders are asked by regulators, auditors and the board to show that controls operate as designed and that staff follow documented procedures. The evidence available is usually a sample of cases, an attestation from the business, or a record of what was posted to a system. None of these shows how the work was actually performed, and none covers the whole population. The same gap applies to decisions that are now partly made or assisted by AI.
Questions Asked of This Role
Evidence of control operation based on samples and attestations rather than the full population
Procedures and SOPs that have drifted from practice without a measure of how far
Audit preparation that consumes weeks of staff time collecting evidence across systems
Regulatory change that requires procedure updates and proof that the new procedure is followed
Sampling-based testing that cannot detect a deviation affecting a small share of cases
Accountability for decisions made or assisted by AI, with no record of the steps the human or the agent performed
Key Questions and Outcomes
Each question shows the answer available today, why that answer is insufficient, and what changes with Pyze.
Can you show that staff follow the documented procedure?
Attestations from managers and a sample of cases reviewed by quality or testing teams.
A sample covers a small share of cases and is selected after the fact. An attestation states what managers believe, and neither shows the sequence of steps actually taken.
Observed execution compared with the documented procedure across every case in scope, with deviations identified by step, team and period.
How much effort goes into preparing for an audit or regulatory examination?
An estimate from the compliance and business teams after each cycle.
Evidence is assembled by hand from multiple systems, and the effort is not tracked. The same collection is repeated for the next cycle.
Evidence of how work was performed is held continuously and can be produced for a period, process or team, which reduces the manual collection step.
Who is accountable for a decision that an AI agent assisted or made?
A policy statement and the output logs of the AI platform.
Platform logs show what the agent produced, not what the person did before and after, or which procedure constraints applied. Responsibility for each step is not documented.
Work split into steps performed by the agent, steps assisted and steps retained by a person, with the procedure constraints and the controls recorded for each blueprint.
Engagement Sequence
Select the controls and procedures in scope, ingest the procedure documents and instrument the teams that perform the work. No change to how the work is done.
Conformance findings produced: where observed execution matches the procedure, where it deviates, and where the procedure itself is out of date.
Corrections to procedures or practice are made and the same conformance measurement is repeated to confirm the deviation is resolved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace control testing or internal audit? +
No. Testing and audit remain independent functions. Pyze provides an additional source of evidence on how work was performed, which testing teams can use to target their work and to review a full population rather than a sample.
What data does Pyze collect, and does it raise privacy concerns? +
Pyze captures application interaction metadata only: which application, which screen, the sequence and the timing. It does not capture keystrokes, field values, free text or screen contents. Collection is limited to a whitelist of business applications, identifiers are pseudonymous, and the unit of analysis is the process. The scope and the data handling can be reviewed with privacy and works council stakeholders before deployment.
What if the procedure documents are out of date? +
That is common and is itself a finding. Comparing the documented procedure with observed execution shows where the document no longer describes the work, so the procedure can be corrected and the control redesigned where needed.
