Sage · Deep agents for governance
Deep agents for the hardest work in governance.
Complex tasks. Your rules. Data at any scale.
Sage is a set of AI agents built for governance. Hand it work that would take a team weeks — screening thousands of applications, reviewing an entire case file, testing every transaction against the rules — and its agents plan the task, follow your rule sets, work through the data and hand back findings with the source for each one.

Screening complete. 518 applications need an officer's review.
Each flag names the clause it fails and the record it came from.
Final decisions stay with the officer.
The problem
Some work is too big, too complex and too rule-bound for people alone.
Governance runs on rules applied to records. As the records grow into the thousands and the rules into the hundreds, the work stops being difficult and becomes impossible to do thoroughly by hand.
Too much data.
Thousands of applications, files, registers and records. No team can read all of it, so most of it is sampled — or never checked.
Too many rules.
Acts, rules, circulars, amendments, SOPs and scheme guidelines. Applying all of them, consistently, to every case is slow and error-prone.
Too many steps.
Real work is multi-stage: read, cross-check, apply rules, verify, draft. Each hand-off loses time and context.
Too little time.
Deadlines do not move. Backlogs grow. Experienced people spend their days on work a system could prepare for them.
A chatbot answers a question. Sage's agents finish the job.
How deep agents work
Not one assistant. A team of agents that plans, works and checks.
Each agent does one job well. Together they handle tasks with many steps, many sources and many rules — and nothing leaves without being verified.
- 1
Brief
You describe the task in plain language and point Sage at the data and the rule set.
- 2
Plan
A planning agent breaks the task into steps and assigns each to a specialist agent.
- 3
Work in parallel
Agents read, extract, cross-check and apply your rules across every record at once.
- 4
Verify
A checking agent tests each result against the rules and the source records before it is accepted.
- 5
Report for sign-off
You get findings, exceptions and drafts — each cited to its clause and record — for a person to decide.
Trained on your rules
Your rule book, applied to every record.
Sage's agents are trained on the rule sets you give them, so they work the way your institution works — not the way a general AI guesses it should.
- Acts and rules
- Government orders and circulars
- Scheme and programme guidelines
- Standing orders and SOPs
- Procurement and financial rules
- Your own checklists and precedents
When a rule is amended, you update it once. Every task from then on applies the new version — and the log shows which version was used for each finding.
Your rules
- Cl. 4.2Household income below the scheme limit
- Cl. 5.1Land record matches the applicant
- Cl. 6.4Bank account in the applicant's own name
- Cl. 7.3No claim under the scheme in the last 3 years
- + 42 more clauses, circulars and amendments
Records, as they are checked
Every flag links to the clause it fails and the record it came from. The officer decides.
Built for scale
Every record checked. Not a sample.
Work that is normally sampled because there is no time to do it all — eligibility checks, audits, compliance reviews — can be done in full. Agents work in parallel, so the volume of data changes how long a task takes, not whether it gets done.
Thousands of documents
Case files, applications, contracts, scanned records and spreadsheets, read and structured.
Hundreds of rules
Clauses, conditions and exceptions applied consistently to every single record.
One cited report
Findings and exceptions, grouped and ready for a person to review and sign off.
What you can hand over
Tasks that used to take weeks.
| Task you hand over | What Sage's agents do |
|---|---|
| Scheme eligibility screening | Every application checked against the scheme guidelines and related circulars; exceptions flagged with the clause they fail |
| File noting and drafting | Draft notes, replies and orders prepared from the material on file, every assertion cited |
| Policy change impact | A new circular read against your existing orders, SOPs and forms — which ones change, and how |
| RTI and grievance backlogs | Each request matched to the records that answer it; draft replies prepared for officer review |
| Precedent and standing position | How comparable matters were decided before, with the document and date |
Safeguards
Powerful agents, firmly in your control.
01
It runs on your infrastructure.
Your servers, your data centre, your jurisdiction. Nothing is sent to a third party.
02
It follows your rules.
Agents work from the rule sets you approve. When a rule changes, you update it once and every task uses the new version.
03
Every finding carries its source.
The clause, the document, the record. Nothing is asserted that cannot be traced.
04
Every step is logged.
What each agent did, on which data, under which rules — available for audit at any time.
05
It looks both ways.
Agents surface what clears a case as readily as what flags it. A system that only finds problems is not neutral.
06
People decide.
Sage prepares, checks and drafts. Approvals, rejections and determinations stay with your officers.
Sage does the reading, the checking and the drafting. Your officers make the decisions.
For the people who approve it
Your IT reviewer and legal adviser will have questions.
We answer them before they ask.
Give Sage your hardest task.
Bring one real piece of work — a backlog, a rule set, a pile of files. We will run Sage's agents on it in a session. You keep the output either way.
