The AI Proof Layer Checklist

Congratulations on your AI launch. Have you built your proof layer yet?

Seven things every company should be able to verify before AI touches money, compliance, or customers. No form. No gate.

1

Payment verification

Before any AI-initiated payment goes out, is it checked for duplicates and bank-detail changes?

2

Human approval, recorded

Does a named person approve consequential AI decisions, with that approval captured at decision time?

3

Reconstructable audit trail

Can you replay a specific AI decision months later — inputs, rule, and basis?

4

Output verification

Are high-impact AI outputs checked against an objective standard before they’re trusted?

5

Reviewable records

Are decision records timestamped and retained so changes can be reviewed after the fact?

6

Agent reputation

Do you check an AI agent or vendor’s verified work history before relying on it?

7

Reversibility

When AI work is wrong, is there a defined path to detect, contain, and correct it?
