Audit and assurance
Check conformance from records, decision objects, and halt logs rather than from assurances.
Where to start
Three moves, in order
Each ends somewhere you can act rather than somewhere you can read.
-
Inspect the failure taxonomy
Audit systems against observable failure signatures and the behaviours that counterfeit compliance.
-
Verify evidence receipts
Audit decision timestamps, binding clocks, and claimant confirmation records against what was claimed.
-
Grade a record stream
Read an emitted stream against the conformance level its own manifest declares, and see whether it earns it.
Tools and standards
What to run and what to satisfy
The diagnostics that surface risk for this role, and the standards that bear on its work.

If that was not you
Seven audiences, one page each. Picking the wrong one costs a click, not a detour.
- Engineering — You build or operate the system that makes the decision.
- Policy and compliance — You write the rules the system has to satisfy, or prove to a regulator that it does.
- Operations — You run the appeals, the incident response, or the queues where the system's errors land.
- Design — You shape the interface where a person meets the decision.
- Research — You study these systems and publish about them.
- Executive — You decide whether to deploy, and you carry the liability when it goes wrong.
