Overview
Assessments happen on traces, not review tasks. When a trace arrives, policies evaluate it and produce assessments. These assessments determine whether a workflow triggers and whether a review task is created.Assessment Flow
Trace Created
Your system sends a trace to Velatir
Policy Evaluation
Each active policy examines the trace
Assessment Generated
Each policy produces an assessment with risk level, compliance, and recommendations
Workflow Triggered
Assessments are used by workflow triggers to determine what happens next

How Assessments Lead to Review Tasks
- Policies create assessments on the trace
- Workflow triggers check these assessments
- If a trigger matches, the workflow executes
- If the workflow has a human intervention node, a review task is created
- The review task links to the trace with all its assessments
Viewing Assessments
Assessments can be viewed:- On the trace - Each trace shows its policy assessments
- On the review task - If created, shows the linked trace’s assessments
- In the session - All traces and their assessments in context
