AI Prior-Authorization Governance
Execution control + independently verifiable evidence for AI agents in prior-authorization workflows.

One-pager · v1
Strix evaluates each state-changing action an AI prior-authorization agent takes at the moment it executes, blocks the ones that veer, and records an Ed25519-signed evidence record that a third party can verify against a public key — without trusting Strix or the vendor. This pack is the short version for a security or compliance reviewer.
1 · The artifact you can verify
Every governed action produces a signed evidence record over a canonical payload. The public half of the signing key is published as a JWKS (RFC 7517); verification uses standard Ed25519 primitives.
- Signature
- Ed25519 (EdDSA)
- Sample record
- 5686
- Public keys
- /.well-known/strix-jwks.json
2 · Verify it yourself (no Strix dependency)
Run the open-source verifier against the public JWKS. The verdict comes from the cryptography, not from a Strix dashboard.

Or fetch the keys directly at https://www.strixgov.com/.well-known/strix-jwks.json and check the signature with any Ed25519 library. A live, in-browser check is at strixgov.com/solutions/healthcare-prior-authorization.
3 · What Strix governs on a prior-auth agent
| Failure mode | Ungoverned | Strix decision |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate 278 (retry/replay) | Two identical authorizations reach the payer | Blocked — REPLAY (single-use authority) |
| Out-of-scope write-off | $1,250 adjustment no one authorized is posted | Blocked — UNAUTHORIZED (no token for that action) |
| Injected CPT code (out of scope) | A different procedure than approved is authorized | Blocked — SCOPE_MISMATCH (outside approved scope) |
| Legitimate downcode in approved family | Submits, but with no record it was in scope | Admitted — within the approved code family, and recorded |
| High-risk submission | High-cost study auto-fires, no human in the loop | Held — INTERCEPTED (routed for human approval) |
4 · Compliance mapping
Each flag is derived from the verification outcomeof the record — never asserted by the application. Strix asserts only the controls that follow from cryptographic evidence; administrative and physical safeguards remain the covered entity's responsibility.
| EU AI Act Art. 12 — record-keeping / traceability | Hash + chain + signature valid → tamper-resistant, traceable record. |
| EU AI Act Art. 14 — human oversight | Actor bound in the signed payload; high-risk actions require human approval before execution. |
| EU AI Act Art. 28 — provider obligations | Strix signs as provider with keys published on the JWKS; auditors verify against it. |
| HIPAA §164.312(b) — Audit Controls | Signed record present with actor + action bound (audit log integrity). |
| HIPAA §164.312(c)(1) — Integrity | Ed25519 signature detects any post-hoc alteration of the record. |
| HIPAA §164.312(d) — Person/Entity Authentication | Actor identity bound into the signed payload, verified with the signature. |
| NIST AI RMF — Govern / Map / Measure / Manage | Risk-tiered capability registry, content-addressable policy version, signed per-action evidence, human approval on high-risk. |
5 · Scope & honest limitations
- Strix governs the action — capability, actor, intent, context — and records the decision. It does not make the clinical or medical-necessity determination.
- Member and claim data stays in your environment, isolated at the database with row-level security. Strix records the decision, not the PHI.
- The interactive demo runs on synthetic patients and a mock payer — no PHI, no live payer, clearinghouse, or EHR.
- Verification is independent: the verifier is open-source and checks signatures against the public JWKS with no dependency on Strix.
