The orchestration layer, not the rail, is where agentic payment decisions happen

Richard Turrin argues every agentic payment answers three questions before money moves: whether the agent is authorized, which rail fits best, and how settlement actually happens. The real decision-making sits in the orchestration layer, not the underlying rail — a distinction most agentic payment coverage skips. When evaluating vendors, he says, ask how orchestration handles rail selection, not just which rails they support.
