78%
Source evidence exceeds the approved tolerance. Human resolution is required before this record can continue.
The operating problem
Designing for real consequence.
Operational teams need the speed of intelligent processing without losing visibility, exception ownership, or final decision control.
System response
A controlled product, not a decorative screen.
A role-aware console combines intake, extracted evidence, confidence states, exception routing, human approval, and an immutable activity trail.
Architecture
How the system separates intelligence from authority.
Controlled intake
Documents enter through authenticated channels. File type, source, ownership, and retention class are recorded before any model sees the content.
Extraction boundary
A document pipeline extracts proposed fields and citations. Model output is treated as an untrusted proposal, never as a committed system update.
Policy evaluation
Deterministic rules compare confidence, value thresholds, and evidence completeness. The rules engine, rather than the model, decides whether review is required.
Human decision
Reviewers inspect source evidence beside proposed changes. Approval, correction, rejection, and escalation are explicit operations with identity and timestamps.
Scoped execution
Only approved actions reach downstream systems through narrowly scoped credentials. Idempotency keys prevent duplicate writes during retries.
Audit and evaluation
Every proposal, policy result, decision, and execution response enters an append-only event trail that supports incident review and model evaluation.
Interface states
The product makes system state inspectable.
Operations queue
Designed with explicit loading, empty, permission, error, and recovery behavior rather than a single idealized screen.
Evidence review
Designed with explicit loading, empty, permission, error, and recovery behavior rather than a single idealized screen.
Approval state
Designed with explicit loading, empty, permission, error, and recovery behavior rather than a single idealized screen.
Audit history
Designed with explicit loading, empty, permission, error, and recovery behavior rather than a single idealized screen.
Decision log
Tradeoffs made explicit.
Separate proposal from execution
Generated output can be useful without being authoritative. A durable proposal object creates a review boundary and makes retries safe.
Rejected alternative
Allowing the model to write directly to finance or CRM systems. This is faster in a demo but removes deterministic control.
Use rules for material thresholds
Payment limits and mandatory fields must be explainable, testable, and change-controlled independently of prompts.
Rejected alternative
Asking a model whether an action feels risky. Probabilistic policy enforcement is not an acceptable control.
Keep evidence in the primary review view
Review quality degrades when people must open another system or trust a confidence percentage without seeing the source.
Rejected alternative
A compact approve/reject inbox with citations hidden behind secondary navigation.
Failure design
The unhappy path is part of the product.
- Low-confidence extraction routes to a named owner rather than silently defaulting a field.
- A downstream write timeout remains unresolved until an idempotent status check confirms the result.
- Conflicting source documents block execution and preserve both versions for review.
- Expired credentials create an operational incident; they never trigger a broader permission fallback.
Measurement plan
What would be measured in production.
- Median review time by document and exception type
- False-accept and false-reject rates against a labeled evaluation set
- Percentage of executed actions with complete source citations
- Exception age, reassignment count, and escalation outcome
- Duplicate-write prevention and downstream reconciliation rate
