Security review for Openclaw pilots is the moment where product interest becomes an authorization question. This playbook exists to help a team answer that question clearly enough that Nod can turn it into an approved pilot.
When to use this playbook
Use this playbook when internal interest is real but approval is blocked on security, governance, or architecture review. The goal is to answer the questions that stop pilots before they start.
Review sequence
- Define the initial business workflow and who owns it
- Document data boundaries, inputs, and output destinations
- Clarify deployment model and environment separation
- Set escalation, logging, and change-management expectations
- Agree on a narrow success metric for the pilot
Questions that usually block approval
- What data enters the system, and where does it persist?
- Who can change prompts, flows, or integrations?
- Which logs or traces are retained for review?
- What happens when the system is uncertain or out of policy?
What Nod should provide
Nod should make the approval conversation easier by turning these questions into artifacts: deployment notes, a checklist, and a pilot plan the business owner can carry into review. Read Why Nod exists if the team already understands the review questions and needs the execution layer behind them.
