Illustrative Use Cases

Proposed examples of GovOps applied to concrete scenarios — three sector-specific deep dives and one set of shorter, cross-cutting scenarios.

• agentic-workloads.md — a natural-language interface deploying to a Kubernetes cluster through an MCP server, spanning multiple trust domains.
• financial-sector.md — an automated trading agent executing high-value transactions, and how GovOps provides real-time oversight beyond after-the-fact audit logs.
• healthcare-sector.md — an AI diagnostic tool accessing PHI across multiple record systems, and the granular, HIPAA-relevant audit trail GovOps enables.
• governance-scenarios.md — six shorter, cross-sector scenarios (agent capability drift, credential revocation during execution, compliance audit preparation, cross-functional incident review, third-party trust review, and continuous governance metrics) in Situation / Need / How / Outcome form.
