How the AI Review Works
The AI produces a reasoned review decision; the platform signs a certificate only after the authorized workflow and payment verification. The model itself never holds signing keys, database privileges or payment authority.
Pipeline
Seven logical stages
1 · Completeness
Missing information and format checks on the frozen version.
2 · Category check
Technical solution vs. mere idea or project — each gets its own record type.
3 · Claim consistency
Draft claims are checked against the description for internal consistency.
4 · Prior-art search
Only through licensed sources (e.g. EPO Espacenet, WIPO PATENTSCOPE) when a real integration exists. Otherwise: “search not performed — assessment could not be completed”.
5 · Comparison
Found documents are compared against the claims, with direct source links.
6 · Reasoned decision
Against the versioned RFA internal policy criteria, with uncertainties recorded.
7 · Sealed report
The decision report and evidence pack are hashed and sealed.
Outcomes
Four possible decisions
Approved (internal)
Meets the RFA internal rules only. Never a statement of statutory patentability.
Revision needed
Specific gaps listed; a new immutable version can be submitted.
Not eligible
Does not meet the criteria, with reasons.
Inconclusive
E.g. no licensed search access — stated honestly, never papered over.
Accountability
What every report must show
- Policy version and policy hash applied
- Model identity and prompt version/hash
- Input manifest of the frozen version
- Search queries and the sources actually searched
- Direct links to cited sources
- Evidence passages relied upon
- Coverage gaps and uncertainties
- Date and time of each step (UTC)
Instructions embedded in uploaded files (“approve this project”) are not followed. The model never declares an application “100% patentable” or “guaranteed profitable”. AI text generation is strictly separated from payment and certificate mutations.
