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.
