Assurance and receipts
Assurance means making AI work easier to inspect before and after an action.
Status: documentedLifecycle: design principle
See what happened
A useful record identifies the source consulted, the model or tool used when known, the action prepared or taken, and the resulting state.
Set what may happen
Permissions and approval boundaries should be visible before an action. Preparing a draft and publishing it are different permissions.
Keep uncertainty visible
A receipt records available evidence; it is not proof that every source was complete, every conclusion was correct, or every risk was tested.
Read a receipt
Check the source, action, permission, result, timestamp, and stated limits together. Missing fields should remain visible rather than being filled with guesses.
