Evidence behind every finding.
Every finding cites the document, configuration, interview or query it rests on. A finding without evidence does not go in the report.
Agents in the background. Decisions are made together.
AI agents draft and check behind the scenes. People review everything they produce, and the decisions that follow are made together with your team.
One accountable person.
