INSTRUMENT 13 · CONFIGURATION ATTESTATION
Will this evidence still be defensible in fifteen years?
Record the exact configuration and human decision behind an AI-touched quality artefact. This is the gate record, not a product form — like an aircraft's black box, kept specifically for when something needs to be reconstructed later.
Example: in 2026 an AI tool helps review a supplier's material certificate, and a named engineer approves it. In 2031, an auditor asks which model version reviewed it, what instructions it was given, and who signed off. If that isn't recorded here at the time, there's no way to answer that question five years later — the record below is what lets you answer it.
