Aletyx Decision Control transforms how organizations manage business decisions. Instead of scattering business logic across code, spreadsheets, and documents, Decision Control provides a unified platform where business analysts and developers collaborate to author, test, and deploy decision models with enterprise-grade governance and full lifecycle management.

What is Decision Control?

Decision Control is your complete solution for managing business decisions as reusable, testable, and governable assets. Think of it as version control and CI/CD for your business rules, but specifically designed for decision models used by business teams. What You Can Do:

Author Decisions Visually: Create decision models using industry-standard DMN notation in your browser with no coding required
Test Naturally: Ask questions in plain English to test your decisions and see instant results
Deploy Safely: Move models through Dev → Test → Production with automated governance checks
Stay Compliant: Built-in approval workflows ensure no one can approve their own changes (four-eyes principle)
Integrate Easily: REST APIs let any application execute your decisions in milliseconds
Audit Everything: See who changed what, when, and why, which is essential for regulatory compliance

Why Decision Control Matters: Traditional decision management requires developers to hand-code business logic, making changes slow and error-prone. Decision Control lets business analysts directly model and test decisions, then deploy them through governed workflows, eliminating the developer bottleneck.

Core Capabilities

Work the Way You Think

Decision Control adapts to how different roles work: For Business Analysts:

Authoring UI: Visual editor for creating decision tables and logic, similar to Excel but with validation built in
Prompt UI: Test your decisions by asking questions in plain English: “What happens if income is $85,000 and credit score is 720?”

For Compliance & Risk Teams:

Management UI: See all models across environments, track who approved what, and ensure nothing goes to production without proper review

For Developers:

REST APIs: Call any decision from your application with a simple HTTP request
Standard DMN Format: Models use open standards, not proprietary formats

All three interfaces work together, and changes in one are immediately reflected in the others.

Choose Your Edition

Decision Control grows with your organization. Each edition builds on the previous, adding capabilities as your needs expand:

Edition	What You Get	Best For
Pioneer	Core DMN authoring and execution	Teams starting with decision automation
Innovator	+ Natural language testing (Prompt UI)	Enabling business analysts to test without technical knowledge
Horizon	+ Multi-environment management + Governance workflows	Organizations requiring compliance and audit trails
Keystone	+ Advanced analytics + Priority support	Enterprise-wide decision management at scale

Governed Progression Through Environments Keystone · Horizon

Like software code, your decision models move through standard environments with governance at each step:

How It Works:

Development: Business analysts create and test models freely
Test/UAT: Subject matter experts validate with real scenarios
Production: Only approved models serve live traffic

Each environment is completely isolated, so you cannot accidentally break production while experimenting in dev.

Built-In Compliance

Decision Control enforces governance without requiring manual oversight: Four-Eyes Principle: Sarah cannot approve her own model. Tom (with the right role) must review it. This separation of duties is automatic. Flexible Workflows:

Standard Workflow: Normal path with business + risk review
Fast-Track: Emergency changes with mandatory post-review
Self-Service: Pre-approved changes for low-risk updates

Complete History: Every change is tracked:

Who: Which user made the change
When: Exact timestamp
What: Which model and version changed
Why: Required justification for the change

Perfect for audits, compliance reviews, and understanding “what happened?”

Architecture at a Glance

Decision Control is built on three major components that work together to deliver comprehensive decision management:

The Two Pillars:

Aletyx Decision Control Tower: Your central command center providing unified access to all Decision Control capabilities across environments, including governance workflows, approvals, and complete audit trails
Decision Control Application: The core DMN execution engine with integrated authoring, testing, and management interfaces (deployed per environment)

All components run as containerized workloads in Kubernetes with enterprise-grade security and authentication via Keycloak.

Real-World Use Cases

Financial Services

The Challenge: A regional bank has loan officers making approval decisions differently across 50 branches. Regulators require consistent, auditable decisions. With Decision Control:

Risk managers create standardized credit scoring models in the Authoring UI
Branch managers test scenarios using natural language: “30-year mortgage, $300k, income$ 85k, credit score 720”
Compliance approves models for production after review
All 50 branches use the same logic, with every decision fully auditable

Result: Consistent decisions, faster approvals, and audit-ready documentation.

Healthcare

The Challenge: Insurance company processes thousands of prior authorization requests. Clinical guidelines change frequently, causing delays and errors. With Decision Control:

Clinical staff model authorization rules based on current guidelines
Nurses test with real patient scenarios before deployment
Updates go live in days (not months) with full approval history
Every authorization decision is explainable and traceable

Result: Faster patient care, reduced administrative burden, regulatory compliance.

Regulatory Compliance

The Challenge: A financial services firm must prove to auditors that no unauthorized person changed production risk rules. With Decision Control:

Every rule change requires two-person approval (four-eyes principle)
Complete audit trail shows who changed what, when, and why
Auditors can see the exact model version used on any date
Reports demonstrate separation of duties and change control

Result: Audit passes with minimal preparation, compliance team works efficiently.

How Decision Control Fits Your Architecture

Decision Control is designed to work with your existing systems: Call Decisions from Any Application: Simple REST API calls execute decisions. Your Java, Python, Node.js, or .NET application sends JSON, gets a decision back in milliseconds.

# Example: Check loan eligibility
curl -X POST https://decision-control.yourcompany.com/api/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"income": 85000, "creditScore": 720, "loanAmount": 250000}'

Event-Driven Architecture: Integrate with Kafka for high-volume, asynchronous decision processing, which is perfect for streaming data scenarios. Use Your Existing Identity Provider: Decision Control integrates with your SSO (Single Sign-On) via OAuth2/OIDC. Users log in with their corporate credentials. Deploy Where You Need: Runs in your Kubernetes cluster (on-premises or cloud). You control where your decision logic lives. See Integration and APIs for detailed integration patterns and examples.
