Making institutional assignments inspectable

From a model to a prototype

The original AuDiT model brings together the structure of an administration, the actors who animate it and their assigned missions. The chatbot prototype explores how legal material can support that representation.

It stores administrations, actors and missions and links extracted mission assignments to source references. A reader can inspect the passage behind an assignment and examine how it relates to an actor or administration.

What the current prototype represents

The tree view organizes administrations and actors. Missions are available through a separate assignment lookup. This gives users complementary views of institutional organization and assigned work.

The research checkpoint examined the stable prototype code and checked selected functions with synthetic records. Evaluation against complete legal corpora and an end-to-end workflow is a further step in assessing the prototype.

Research direction

Further work will examine the fidelity of assignments to source provisions and the relationship between displayed structures and the original AuDiT model. These questions connect representation quality with the evidence institutions need for governance.
