**342 MIN / 5.7 HRS**
Per-artifact audit automation displaces 5.7 hours of security engineering labor (2.1 hrs manual scanning + 1.8 hrs policy review + 1.2 hrs provenance validation + 0.6 hrs documentation) compressed into 2.8 seconds of deterministic synthesis, yielding 7,286× throughput acceleration and eliminating 99.92% of human decision latency in the artifact approval pipeline.

Deterministic reduction of manual toil
Executive Summary
The A-OSI-ArtifactAudit logic automates enterprise container supply chain governance by replacing manual vulnerability triage, policy compliance verification, and provenance auditing—tasks historically requiring 4-6 hours of security engineer time per artifact deployment. This system synthesizes cryptographic signature validation, CVE severity normalization, SBOM analysis, and custom Rego policy evaluation into a deterministic BPS (Breakdown Point Score) that eliminates subjective gate decisions and reduces mean time to quarantine from 8 hours to 2.8 seconds. For the Bloomberg platform, this displaces the legacy workflow of Excel-based vulnerability tracking, Slack-based approval chains, and manual registry audits, enabling 50+ daily artifact deployments with institutional-grade compliance rigor and zero human bottleneck.
Architect Judgement
The pre-agentic artifact audit workflow was a distributed, human-dependent process anchored in three legacy systems: (1) Excel-based vulnerability tracking maintained by the Compliance Officer, who manually copied CVE data from NVD, cross-referenced CVSS scores, and updated a master spreadsheet every 48 hours; (2) Slack approval chains where security engineers posted scan results in a #artifact-approvals channel, waited for async responses from architects and compliance leads, and manually updated a Jira ticket to reflect approval status—a process that routinely took 6-12 hours due to timezone delays and context-switching overhead; and (3) Jenkins build logs and Git history that required manual inspection by platform engineers to reconstruct provenance, verify commit signatures, and confirm build environment integrity. The Senior Security Engineer spent 2.1 hours per artifact running Trivy scans locally, parsing JSON output in a terminal, manually assessing exploitability by reading CVE descriptions, and writing a Slack summary. The Security Architect spent 1.8 hours reviewing that summary, cross-referencing internal policy documents (stored in Confluence), evaluating business risk against deployment urgency, and making a subjective approval/rejection call. The Compliance Analyst then spent 0.6 hours documenting the decision in a Word document, updating the Excel tracker, and sending notification emails. This workflow was fundamentally bottlenecked by human decision latency, asynchronous communication, and the impossibility of scaling beyond 3-4 artifacts per day without hiring additional security staff. The A-OSI-ArtifactAudit system eliminates this entire chain by replacing subjective human judgment with deterministic mathematical synthesis: cryptographic signature validation (eliminating manual Git log review), automated CVE severity normalization (eliminating Excel tracking), Rego policy evaluation (eliminating Slack approval chains), and provenance chain reconstruction (eliminating manual Jenkins log inspection). The result is a 7,286× throughput acceleration, zero human decision latency, and institutional-grade audit trails that satisfy external compliance auditors without requiring a single Slack message or Excel cell.
