Policy-as-Executable Workflow
Projection: Natural-language rules could become executable tests, permissions, approval gates, and source-linked exception paths inside procurement. Purchase-to-pay investment supplies context, not proof. The mechanism is real only when authoritative policy text remains traceable through compilation and the resulting workflow enforces it correctly.
