Research question

What should a secure buyer ask before letting AI reason about Postgres? The starting point is a boundary map, not a feature list.

Method

Separate evidence the model can read, secrets it cannot receive, decisions it can suggest, and actions it cannot execute without governed approval.

Operator use

Every AI-backed recommendation should be explainable as a bounded workflow: what context went in, what came out, and what policy gates stood between advice and action.
