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: deterministic, tested, monitored integrations between the systems already in place, with clear handling when a system is down or a record does not match, and an approval gate or a tested, reversible rule on any flow that creates an order, moves money or changes a price.
Where AI helps
AI is confined to reading and matching records as they move between systems and flagging the ones that do not reconcile; it never owns an order, a payment or a price change, which stay gated or rule-bound.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
