✅ Competence Verification

This directory defines how training outcomes are verified under AITL Training.

Verification confirms that education has resulted in actual, accountable competence, not just exposure to materials or completion of training sessions.

---

🎯 Purpose of Verification

Verification documents are used to:

• ✅ Confirm actual competence, not assumed understanding
• 🧭 Ensure responsibility boundaries are correctly understood
• 🚫 Prevent unsafe delegation of judgment to AI or tools

Verification is the decision point for recognizing training completion.

🧠 Verification Focus Areas

Competence verification focuses on the trainee’s ability to demonstrate:

• 🧠 Explainability
  • Can the trainee explain decisions, assumptions, and boundaries in their own words?
• ⚖ Judgment
  • Can the trainee identify safe vs. unsafe choices and escalation points?
• 🛡 Accountability
  • Does the trainee clearly accept responsibility appropriate to their role?

Verification is role-specific and aligned with AITL responsibility separation.

🔗 Relation to Training Records

Results of verification:

• Are explicitly referenced in training records
• Form the objective evidence required by ISO 9001 Clause 7.2
• Determine Pass / Conditional / Fail outcomes for training recognition

Without verification, training is not considered complete.
