[Orygent](https://www.orygent.com/en/) How it works

# How does Orygent work?

Every item goes through five steps: it is created, owned, carried out, approved when needed and closed with an outcome sentence. Each step is recorded.

Updated: 2026-11-13

## Created

  From one line, a template, an incoming e-mail or a CSV file.

## Owned

  Every item has an owner and a backup. A handover is not complete until it is accepted.

## Carried out

  Steps move in order. The reason for waiting is visible: information, approval or handover.

## Approved

  Money, contracts, outside commitments and access changes go to an authorised person.

## Closed on record

  Closing asks for an outcome sentence. Who did what, and when, stays in a chained record.

## Who sees what?

| Access | What they do | What they cannot see |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Owner | Sees everything, approves, manages rules and the plan | — |
| Admin | Manages the team, rules and connections | Cannot change the owner’s access |
| Team member | Opens, carries out and asks for approval | Management-only items |
| Auditor | Reads work and the record | Cannot change anything |
| Outside participant | Sees the one item shared with them and adds notes | Any other item |

## What does AI do?

AI assists with drafts, summaries and suggestions; a person decides. Accepting a suggested plan is not an approval; critical steps still ask for one. When suggestions are unavailable, everything continues by hand.
