Definition and worked example
See the method before entering your own evidence.
Who should use it: Determine whether a bounded AI workflow has the evidence and controls required for qualified review.
Decision basis: The record evaluates purpose and boundary, data and tool conditions, human accountability, evaluation evidence, exception handling, independent challenge, and change control. Draft means one or more essential controls, owners, or tests are missing.

Questions about AI Skill Assurance and Deployment Readiness
What do I leave with?
A versioned ai skill assurance record with visible reasoning, evidence status, next action, review date, and structured exports.
Does the result use a benchmark or AI?
No. The result uses the visible deterministic rules for this instrument and only the inputs you provide. It is not compared with other customers.
When does the paid work begin?
After the artifact. Petrichor helps the team challenge evidence, reconcile disagreement, assign ownership, and commit to the organizational decision without making you repeat the free work.
The method is versioned. No cross-customer benchmark is used. Review the full method and change history, the relevant plain-language answer, or the permanent Tool Trust Charter.
