Drafted by the engine
Every suggestion arrives as a draft with a visible provenance chip — orange, marked 'Draft · review.' Nothing pretends to be human-authored.
Human-in-the-loop
Taktly drafts.
You decide.
The engine drafts. The human decides. Every suggestion is advisory, every artifact requires explicit human acceptance, and every decision is recorded in an audit trail you can hand to a regulator or procurement lead.
Decided by you
You explicitly accept, modify, or reject every draft. The chip turns emerald (accept), teal (modify), or slate (reject). Status visible on every card.
Recorded for the record
Every decision lands in the audit trail with your name and the timestamp. The /activity page reads like a Git log for the project.
Six mechanisms
How human-in-the-loop is enforced.
None of these are policy. All of them are built into the product. You can’t bypass them by clicking faster.
Provenance chip on every draft
Every auto-drafted artifact (countermeasure, hypothesis, 5-Why chain, synthesis paragraph, root cause candidate) renders with a visible provenance chip until a human accepts, modifies, or rejects it. The chip is a button — click to record your decision in one tap.
Per-flag accept / modify / reject / defer on audits
Every audit flag has four explicit buttons. Modify and reject both prompt for the reason. Decisions are saved per (audit, flag, user) and surfaced on the audit summary plus the project audit trail. Procurement-grade evidence on every audit.
Sponsor sign-off required at every tollgate
Phase advance is blocked until a real person signs the tollgate with their name and an audit-trail record. If the rigor floor is unmet, the override dialog requires a typed reason — logged.
9-question CAPA quality gate (human-answered)
Every selected countermeasure must pass the 9-question Master Black Belt review. The questions are answered BY THE USER — Taktly cannot mark them. The gate blocks Improve → Control advance until they're all checked.
Quote-first prompts
Every rewrite must cite the user's own words verbatim. The user can immediately see whether the engine read their work or hallucinated. Filler verbs (improve, enhance, leverage, optimize) are banned in the prompt contract.
No silent writes to regulated artifacts
Suggestions land as ghost cards or drafts. Nothing is written to a tollgate-bound artifact (problem statement, charter, CAPA register, verification metric) without an explicit user action.
You set the level
Coach · Audit · Autopilot
Every project has an automation-mode dial. You pick how much help the engine gives, and you can change it any time.
Coach
On request only
The engine waits for you. Nothing is drafted unless you click. Use this when the project is sensitive, low-volume, or you want full manual control.
Audit
DEFAULT · Engine drafts, you accept
The engine drafts; every draft renders the provenance chip and requires your explicit accept / modify / reject. The recommended setting for most teams.
Autopilot
Engine drafts + auto-saves as unverified
Maximum speed. The engine drafts AND saves to artifact tables — but every row stays marked 'unverified' until a human reviews it. Use for batch-review workflows.
The artifact regulators ask for
One page. Every decision. Every signature.
Every Taktly project has an /activity page that reads like a Git log: every engine draft, every human review, every tollgate sign-off, every audit flag decision, in chronological order with timestamps. Print it. Forward it. Hand it to a regulator. Done.

Every row is timestamped, attributed to a real account, and tied to a specific artifact ID. Exportable as CSV or JSON for inclusion in your validated record.
You are always the one who decides.
Taktly is built so that AI is fast, and you are in charge. Drop a CAPA, charter, A3, RCA, business case, standard work, or full DMAIC into the audit and see for yourself.
