Glossary
Every term, explained simply.
The words used across Xevrion, from approval to workflow run, in plain English. Nothing here needs a technical background.
- Approval
- A named person agreeing to an action before Xevrion carries it out. Your policies decide which actions need one.

- Audit trail

- Autonomy level
- How far Xevrion may act on its own for a given task: assist, recommend, act with approval or act within policy.
- Baseline

- Bottleneck
- The step in a process that limits how fast the whole process can go.
- Brier score
- A score for probability forecasts that rewards being right and being honestly uncertain; lower is better.
- Calibration

- Scenario
- A possible future you can compare with others, each with its own expected value, range and confidence.
