ID∆AC™ Resource Library / Operational artefacts
The operational self-assessment layer

Use one resource on one bounded decision route.

Locate where AI shaped the pathway, inspect what the reviewer could see and change, and preserve the evidence needed to reconstruct authority, escalation, rationale and final commitment.

01
Bound the route before opening a resource.

One outcome, one consequence, one AI contribution, one human review boundary and one commitment point.

02
Stop when the remaining question is sufficiently resolved.

A public check supports first-pass inspection. It does not produce assurance, certification or an ID∆AC™ diagnostic conclusion.

Choose by unresolved question

What can the surviving record not yet establish?

Each pathway appears once. Read the underlying problem, listen when interpretation helps, then use the artefact on the selected route.

New Committing authority · Organisational consequence

Who actually had the authority to make the consequence real?

Separate authority to review, challenge or approve an AI-assisted decision from the authority that actually commits the organisation to its consequence. A reviewer may participate meaningfully in the route without being the actor who makes the outcome operationally binding.

Review authority Who could inspect, challenge, recommend or approve the route?
Committing authority Who could convert that route into organisational consequence?
Use when a reviewer, approver or oversight role is clearly recorded but the surviving evidence does not yet establish who held the authority required to make the consequence operational.
Upstream influence · Pre-review visibility

Where did AI shape the route—and what never reached human review?

The same article supports two distinct inspections. One locates technical influence across the pathway; the other examines cases, evidence, risks or alternatives that became less visible before review.

Influence Where did ranking, routing, framing or recommendation first shape the pathway?
Suppression What was filtered, omitted, deprioritised or made impractical before review?
Use the Influence Matrix to classify how AI shaped the route, the Pathway Checklist to map the route end to end, and the Visibility Check when the unresolved issue is what disappeared from practical human attention.
Decision evidence

What does the approval record actually prove?

Examine whether one approval record preserves evidence of reviewer view, challenge, live alternatives, usable authority, contemporaneous rationale and attributable commitment.

Use when approval metadata is being relied upon as evidence of meaningful human judgement.
Rationale timing

Did the reasoning exist before commitment?

Separate contemporaneous judgement from explanation written or materially strengthened after the outcome was known. Place system output, review, commitment, effect and later rationale on one timeline.

Use the Readiness Check for a bounded first-pass inspection. Use the Timeline Worksheet to place output, review, commitment, operational effect and later explanation in sequence.
Escalation usability

Was escalation still usable before commitment?

Examine whether warning signals could reach someone with usable authority, in enough time to pause, redirect or challenge the route—and whether a decision not to escalate remains visible.

Use when an escalation route exists formally but its timing, accessibility, response conditions or practical consequences remain unclear.
Reconstruction

Can the route be rebuilt without relying on memory?

Test whether system influence, evidence, human interpretation, alternatives, escalation, authority and final commitment remain connected in the surviving record.

Use when workflow records, reviewer notes, logs and the final decision exist but do not yet form one attributable route.
Where public resources stop

One consequential route remains materially unclear.

Preserve the specific uncertainty and supporting record. Complete the Intake without sensitive material, then use Scope Review to test fit, boundary and readiness before an Exposure Diagnostic is proposed.
