Is generated Dogwood ready for policy-owner review?

Check the source rule, deployed tool schema, unsupported controls, generated semantics, AWS geography, denial tests, external safeguards, and rollback before enforcement.

Review evidence

Hard stops

Review result

Complete the evidence review

Check a gate only when the source rule, deployed schema, AWS configuration, tests, and accountable owner support it.

A passing checklist is not production approval. Keep generated policies in observation until denial behavior, downstream controls, monitoring, and rollback are proven.

Keep authoring and enforcement separate

Policy Authoring translates supported rules into Dogwood using the supplied schema. It does not approve the source policy or decide the correct control layer.

Generated and handwritten rules need the same semantic review, versioned tests, deployment evidence, monitoring, and rollback.

Prompts and results may be processed in another Region within the same AWS geography. Verify the account's current data requirements.

Unsupported rules need an explicit destination. Omission never becomes authorization.

Policy Authoring review questions

No. It runs locally in the page and does not inspect, generate, deploy, or change a policy, Gateway, MCP server, Guardrail, IAM role, Region, or account.
No. Reviewers must still approve business meaning, authority, scope, event semantics, windows, unsupported rules, tests, and external controls.
Keep it explicit and assign an owner to rewrite it or enforce it in the appropriate tool, durable service, human workflow, or monitoring layer.
No. It indicates that planning evidence is represented. The accountable policy and service owners must still approve the tested deployment.
