Camunda is a mature BPMN engine with decision tables and analytics. Minctrl imports the same BPMN and adds what Camunda leaves to you: risk routing per step, separation of duties and an audit chain that verifies itself.
| Capability | Minctrl | Camunda |
|---|---|---|
| An irreversible step always waits for a person — decided from the step itself | Built in: blast radius × reversibility | Model it yourself — the docs say four-eyes must be enforced in the workflow |
| A graph where an irreversible step is reachable around a gate is refused | Checked on every save and import | Not checked |
| One person cannot sign two gates of the same run | On by default per company; the API refuses | Model it yourself |
| Audit record that verifies itself | SHA-256 chain, verify endpoint | Audit log (8.10) records actor and channel — no hash chain |
| A run is pinned to the exact graph it started on | Hash of the executable graph | Process definition version |
| Process leaves with you | BPMN 2.0 + hash-checked JSON | BPMN 2.0; governance semantics live in zeebe: extensions |
| Capability | Camunda | Minctrl |
|---|---|---|
| Executing BPMN 2.0 | Broad coverage of BPMN elements, executed natively | BPMN is imported and exported; Minctrl runs its own governed graph |
| Decision tables | DMN 1.3 | None |
| Process analytics | Optimize: heatmaps, duration outliers, branch analysis | None yet |
| Published throughput | Benchmarks published per release | None published |
You need a general BPMN engine at high volume, DMN decisions and process analytics, and your team will build the approval rules into each model.
Your process ends in an action that can’t be undone — a payout, a filing, a block — and an auditor will ask who signed it and whether the log was edited.
