The human decides
Our approach
The Socrates Line
The judgment boundary between what the AI prepares and what the human decides.
The Socratic method
The unexamined life is not worth living.Socrates · Plato, Apology 38a
Our principles
Governance that survives the next release.
- Use approved environments.
- Limit data to what is necessary.
- Assign a named human owner.
- Require a visible check before material action.
How it works
From prompt to judgment.
Every output crosses the same line: the machine prepares, a named human reviews, and only then does your firm act.-
The machine prepares
AI drafts, researches or analyses
The tool produces a first output: a summary, a comparison, a risk flag. Fast, broad, tireless, but without professional judgment.
-
The human reviews
A named owner checks sources, context and risk
Before anything leaves the screen, one person verifies the output against its sources, weighs legal and operational risk, and marks what is missing.
-
The human decides
Your firm acts with an audit trail
The reviewed output becomes a firm decision: approved, revised or rejected, with a record of who decided and why. Accountability stays with people.
