AUTHORITY
Was the action authorised? AI capability does not create permission, mandate or professional authority.
Technology & evidence control
AI, EVIDENCE & HUMAN CONTROL
Aperture Research Works is not an AI company. We are a human-led evidence-assurance practice that uses technology where it can responsibly improve the work.
EVIDENCE
Is the material proposition supported by suitable underlying evidence? AI output is not evidence merely because it is fluent or confident.
JUDGEMENT
What does the evidence mean for the actual decision? Human accountability remains with the responsible people and professionals.
What technology may assist with
- Discovery and source mapping
- Retrieval and organisation
- Comparison across large bodies of information
- Contradiction detection and analytical support
- Workflow acceleration
What technology does not do
- Create evidential authority
- Turn model confidence into proof
- Replace primary or authoritative records where they are required
- Make a reserved professional judgement
- Issue Aperture's final finding without human approval
