Trust requires a paper trail
When a customer, regulator, or partner asks why an AI-assisted decision looked the way it did, anecdotes are not enough. The audit ledger ties each finalized artifact to a named reviewer, a timestamp, the decision outcome, and the stated rationale.
That record supports internal retrospectives, external audits, and dispute resolution without reconstructing history from chat logs.
Designed for verification events, not noise
The ledger focuses on human verification decisions — not every token the model emitted. That keeps the trail readable for compliance and leadership while still being complete for accountability.
Complements delivery gates
Nothing should finalize without a ledger entry when policy requires human sign-off. Pairing the ledger with verified approval ensures release and recordkeeping stay in sync.
