Think of traditional safety analysis like a paper map; it’s static, hard to read, and quickly becomes out of date. Dedoctive is like a live GPS system. It takes all the raw data (the roads), understands the connections (the routes), and updates in real-time as the situation on the ground changes, always showing you exactly where its information is coming from.

Part 3 of 5

In the past, business processes were usually built one of two ways:

• Deterministic: A rigid flowchart where every step is pre-planned. It’s reliable but can’t handle surprises.
• Agentic: An AI “agent” that figures things out as it goes. It’s flexible but unpredictable.

Dedoctive uses a unique hybrid workflow that combines the industry-standard Business Process Modeling and Notation technique with judicious invocation of AI agents.

For example, a Bowtie diagram is a graphic tool used to manage risk. It shows the threats that may lead to a hazardous event, the consequences if the event occurs, the mechanisms that can be used to block the threats and mitigate the consequences, and the factors that may impede those mechanisms. The process of creating a Bowtie diagram is well documented, but it takes a long time for someone to achieve mastery of the process – and even an expert individual will take a long time to construct each Bowtie.

In Dedoctive, we break the overall Bowtie work process into multiple steps, automating the entire process with agentic invocation of AI as and when required.

Dedoctive workflow gives you the predictability and auditability of a traditional process with the adaptive intelligence of AI.

One of the cleverest features of the Dedoctive approach is that workflows are interactive. If the AI is performing a task and realises it’s missing a piece of information, it will pause the workflow and send a custom digital form to a human user to fill in the gaps.
