Observability is funded. Control is missing.
Coralogix just raised $200M to scale AI-native observability. That validates the urgency: enterprises need infrastructure for agents operating production systems.
But watching an action after it runs is not control. By the time a dashboard shows a duplicate payment, the money is already gone.
KIFF sits between the agent’s decision and the consequential action. It refuses what should not run, then produces a receipt whose trust boundary lives outside the customer’s own database. Observability tells you what happened. KIFF decides what is allowed to happen.
A normal audit log is still a database row someone with access can change.
UPDATE audit_logs SET decision = 'approved'
WHERE trace_id = 'refund-9921';
