Approval is a decision made by the organisation according to its policy, law, contract, risk appetite and human review process. A verification result can support approval, rejection, escalation or further evidence requests, but it is not the decision itself. Key points A match can confirm a fact but may not satisfy all policy requirements. A no match may require review rather than automatic rejection. A risk flag should be interpreted in context. The organisation remains responsible for its decision. What to do next Define decision rules separately from verification results. Create escalation paths for exceptions. Keep decision notes with the evidence pack. Explain adverse decisions in a fair and lawful way.
