Models draft and suggest. People decide.

  1. The problem

    Every serious funding decision in this product requires a human. That is not caution about model quality — it is that accountability for a funding decision cannot be delegated to something that cannot be accountable.

  2. What the system contributes

    It reads the sources, extracts what they require, and keeps every derived figure attached to the record it came from — so a number can be checked rather than trusted.

  3. What a person decides

    Every consequential act here is a named human decision, bound to the exact version it was made against. The system prepares it; it never takes it.

The boundary, as the system enforces it

  • A model can never perform an act that commits the organisation: approving, certifying, submitting, awarding, attesting or waiving. This is enforced in the domain layer, not by policy.
  • A model-produced claim carries the epistemic state "Predicted" and can never be recorded as "Known". Observation is what makes something Known.
  • Model output is never a basis for a consequential act. It can inform the person who performs one.
  • Anything a model generates for a document is assembled from facts a person already approved.
