# Workflows overview

> The visual decision graph that turns events into outcomes — anatomy, nodes, variables, runs.

A **workflow** is Frayme's executable representation of a compliance decision. Each workflow is a directed graph where nodes do work — call a vendor, evaluate a rule, run AI synthesis, route on a value, hand off to a human — and edges define the order.

## A workflow at a glance

```mermaid theme={null}

  In[Input] --> Rule
  Rule --> DS[Data Source]
  DS --> AI
  AI --> DT[Decision Table]
  DT --> MR[Manual Review]
  DT --> Act[Auto Action]
  MR --> Out[Output]
  Act --> Out
```

Inputs ingest the case. Data sources and custom APIs enrich it. Rules, scorecards and AI nodes evaluate the enriched context. Decision tables and splits route. Manual review or auto actions resolve the case. Outputs write the decision.

See [Anatomy](/workflows/anatomy) for the structural reference.
