The examination stays independent. The evidence does the heavy lifting.
AuditorAI runs the deterministic mechanics of a Road Safety Audit — stage inputs, process rules, cited standards — across International, UK, US, Canada and UAE practice. Every claim carries its source, every judgement its confidence, every decision its professional owner.
One pass of the rail is one Run. Reruns replace the draft’s results; issued revisions (I1, I2 …) are frozen permanently and never altered.
Evidence, reasoning, finding — then the professional decision.
The system’s job is to make the audit record honest, not to make judgements. Capability is declared per framework and stage — an explicit operational design domain, not a vague claim of coverage.
- 01Evidence
Normative claims carry registry provenance — cited clauses like EV-UK-015, quoted in place, never paraphrased into authority. Inferences are labelled as derived, and stay distinguishable from what the standard actually says.
- 02Reasoning
The audit runs deterministically: input states for the exact native stage, process rules, and stage questions. Unknown is never treated as no, and every mapping between a jurisdiction’s own stages and the internal model carries an explicit confidence.
- 03Finding
Findings are typed — a safety concern is categorically distinct from a compliance question, and passing checks never implies a scheme is safe. Risk stays descriptive where the framework assigns no scale.
- 04Professional decision
Recommendations are recorded in the auditor’s voice — specific and proportionate; the wording discipline is enforced. Issuing freezes an immutable, numbered revision (I1, I2 …) that later runs can never alter.
| Jurisdiction | Framework of practice | |
|---|---|---|
| INTInternational | Qualified PIARC-derived baseline | native stages · never silently harmonised |
| UKUnited Kingdom | DMRB · GG 119 | native stages · never silently harmonised |
| USUnited States | FHWA RSA guidance | native stages · never silently harmonised |
| CACanada | TAC CRSAG + provincial instruments | native stages · never silently harmonised |
| AEUnited Arab Emirates | DMT Road Safety Audit Manual · QCC TR-540 | native stages · never silently harmonised |
“Stage 3” means detailed design in Alberta and post-construction in the UK. AuditorAI always presents the framework’s own stage, alongside its canonical mapping and the mapping’s confidence.
This software assists the audit process. Final professional responsibility remains with the qualified auditor and the road authority. Compliance outputs never imply that a scheme is “safe”.
