What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is non-AI: the deadline calendar with named owners and escalations, the renewal and validation cycle dates, the calibration schedules, and the rule that no obligation goes unowned and no evidence file goes unattached.
Where AI helps
AI does only bounded reading on the operator's own documents: lifting expiry and validity dates off a licence, a calibration certificate or a validation report and proposing the calendar entry for a person to confirm. It never files a renewal, closes an obligation or decides a compliance status.
Who signs off
A named owner confirms every calendar entry and signs off each renewal, validation and statutory filing as complete.
