## Synthetic worked example

A synthetic employee asks why INV-100 is held. The application verifies identity and entity scope, resolves the current invoice and permitted policy sources, and records the policy decision reference. The model cannot infer an entitlement from department, tone or the sample JSON. Changing the hold requires a separately authorized command.
