InkSign — AI-oversight attestation · Founder pilot
InkSign /ˈiŋk-saɪn/ noun.

A record that a qualified person actually engaged with an AI-assisted decision before it went out.

Someone clicked sign. Was it a person — or an agent?

AI systems increasingly draft, flag, and recommend decisions people used to make alone — a denial, a rejection, a filtered application. InkSign is the protocol's answer to a question regulators are starting to ask directly: did a qualified person actually review it? Reviewers attest on the surface where the decision was made, and that attestation becomes a record — duration, artifact coverage, override facts — built for organizations preparing for human-oversight duties under the EU AI Act and CCPA automated-decision rules.

The question

Every AI-assisted decision has a moment someone was supposed to look.

A loan is declined. A claim is denied. An application is filtered. Increasingly, an AI system's recommendation is attached — and "human in the loop" has been a checkbox, not a record.

01

The recommendation ships fast.

An AI-assisted decision can be generated, attached to a case, and delivered in seconds. The review step, if it happens at all, is the only place a person still touches the outcome.

02

Oversight has been a checkbox.

"Reviewed by a human" has typically meant a status field someone — or a script — sets to true. Nothing records what was actually looked at, or for how long.

03

Regulators are starting to ask.

The EU AI Act's human-oversight duties and California's automated-decision rules both point at the same gap: organizations need to show oversight happened, not just declare that it did.

InkSign is built to close that gap — as a record, not a policy memo.

How it attests

Attest where the decision gets made.

Four steps. Everything else is configuration for your review program.

Step
What it does
Attest
The reviewer confirms engagement on the same producing surface where the AI-assisted decision was made — not a separate portal, not after the fact.
Capture
Duration, artifact coverage — what the reviewer actually opened and looked at — and any override are recorded alongside the attestation.
Cover
Attested decisions roll up against your own declared decision volume, so coverage is visible at the program level, not just per attestation.
History
Every oversight threshold your organization has set is retained immutably, by date — answerable for any past decision, not just the current policy.

The record is the attestation plus what it covered — never a judgment on the underlying decision.

Regulatory fit

Built for the duties already on the calendar.

EU AI Act · Article 14

Human oversight

High-risk AI systems must be designed to enable effective human oversight. InkSign records evidence of meaningful human involvement — for your own compliance analysis, not as a determination of compliance itself.

CCPA · Automated decisions

Meaningful human review

California's automated-decision-technology rules point at a meaningful human review path for certain decisions. InkSign records that a qualified person engaged, and what they covered, at the moment they did.

Principles

Four rules attestation cannot break.

01

Attestation is not a rubber stamp.

Engagement facts — duration, artifact coverage — are recorded alongside the attestation. A click is not the record; what it covered is.

02

Coverage, not surveillance.

InkSign records that review happened and what was covered — never a reviewer's private reasoning, keystrokes, or unrelated activity.

03

Records evidence, not verdicts.

InkSign documents that oversight occurred. It does not adjudicate whether the underlying AI-assisted decision was itself correct or compliant.

04

The record is append-only.

Every attestation lands in a tamper-evident, append-only audit trail. Once written, an oversight record cannot be quietly edited, backdated, or removed — the log only ever grows.

Access

Attestation capture is in founder pilot.

InkSign is onboarding a small number of organizations preparing for EU AI Act Article 14 and CCPA oversight duties, one review program at a time. Pilot access is by request.
