Core Functions
What the Banister actually does, organized by the seven layers that deliver it — follow any function into its deep page.
Layer 1 · Workforce
Layer 2 · Governance
Run safely, unattended
Autonomous on reversible work; a hard human gate on money, outbound, credentials, and anything irreversible.
Record who authorized what
Commit-time authorization — every authoritative change stamped with its provenance in the same transaction.
Layer 3 · Execution
Run work on a real board
Portfolio → sprint → story, typed work items, derived blocked/ready state, humans on the gates.
Work in your existing tools
Your Jira or your own board — the Banister works where your team already tracks, not a new place.
Layer 4 · Knowledge
Query your decisions
Ask what was decided and get the ruling with its source — nothing forgotten, nothing re-litigated.
Grounded, cited answers
Your documentation becomes a provenance-tracked knowledge base; every answer points at its source.
