Concept

Pre-Execution Authorization

Yes, and the distinction is the entire point. Authorization that happens after execution is reporting: the money has moved, the volume is gone, the order has shipped. Authorization that happens before it is a decision the system can still act on — the call is held, the answer comes from written policy rather than the model’s judgement, and the action either proceeds or it does not.

Where this fits

Decionis is the deterministic decision layer between intent and execution. This concept is one way in; the architecture behind it is the same in every case.
