Platform / DCLA
DCLAThe governing rules changed. What does that affect?
Watches for changes to a regulation, policy or control, then finds the decisions, evidence and approvals that relied on the old version. Anything affected is held rather than left running on a rule that no longer applies.

What it returns
Categorical, not probabilistic. Where a lane cannot decide, it says so explicitly rather than returning a low-confidence answer that reads like a decision.
What it does
- Represents an obligation as a machine-readable control rather than a document.
- Detects when that control changes, and what specifically changed in it.
- Traverses the lineage graph to find dependent systems, decisions and approvals.
- Places affected work on hold and reruns only the lanes that apply.
What it does not do
- It does not interpret regulation. A person still decides what the rule means.
- It does not replace a GRC platform, a control register or an obligations library.
- It does not provide legal advice or a compliance opinion.
The questions this layer gets asked in procurement
| Concern | Why it decides the deployment |
|---|---|
| Control ingestion | How obligations enter the system, and who maintains them. |
| Lineage completeness | An incomplete graph produces confident wrong answers. |
| Hold semantics | What a hold means operationally, and who can release it. |
| Audit trail | Whether the record satisfies the function that will rely on it. |
