APPROVED SOURCE
Policies, business rules, and reviewed answer examples remain the source of truth.
METHOD / SOURCE TO DECISION
Evidence first.
Automation second.
The baseline does not ask one AI to grade another. Every automated check is narrow, visible, and tied to an approved source clause.
ACCEPTANCE CASES
Representative inputs, edge conditions, severity, and expected behavior are versioned.
DETERMINISTIC CHECKS
Exact normalized text, escalation flags, and citation IDs run without an external AI judge.
HUMAN REVIEW
An authorized subject-matter reviewer resolves semantic ambiguity and high-risk cases.
RELEASE GATE
The raw pass ratio and critical/high failures determine whether the workflow is blocked.
AUTOMATED BOUNDARY
What the machine may decide
- Whether an exact approved or forbidden phrase appears
- Whether an escalation flag has the expected value
- Whether an approved citation ID is present
- Whether every expected case has exactly one output
HUMAN BOUNDARY
What remains a human decision
- Paraphrase, negation, implication, and semantic equivalence
- Whether source policy is complete or internally consistent
- Risk acceptance for ambiguous or high-impact failures
- The final business decision to release
