ToD / ToE Support

AI support for Test of Design and Test of Effectiveness workflows.

Draft control-by-control ToD and ToE assessments from control descriptions, client documentation, and evidence for human reviewer approval.

Workflow Value

From dense data to defensible action.

Each control repeats the same review pattern

Teams read the control description, inspect policy and procedure documents, review evidence, then write assessment notes for design and operating effectiveness.

Draft Test of Design assessments

AI reads the control objective, risk, policy language, and process documentation, then drafts whether the control appears designed to mitigate the stated risk.

Draft Test of Effectiveness notes

AI reviews evidence samples and operating records to draft whether the control appears to have operated consistently during the period.

Exceptions go to human reviewers

Potential exceptions, unsupported claims, missing samples, or inconsistent evidence are routed to reviewers with source references.

Agent Workflow Architecture

How the AI agent system works behind the page.

Every solution is implemented as a controlled workflow, not a loose chatbot. The agent operates inside approved data scopes, produces inspectable outputs, and routes judgment back to the right human owner.

Scope the job

Define the exact workflow, input sources, business rules, user roles, output format, and what the AI agent is allowed to do.

Retrieve the right context

Pull only approved documents, records, ERP context, control libraries, or playbooks before the agent drafts or acts.

Produce source-visible output

Generate findings, matrices, notes, SQL-backed answers, or queues with source references, exception reasons, and confidence signals.

Validate before expansion

Measure reviewer edits, pass/partial/fail outcomes, time saved, exception quality, and adoption before moving to adjacent workflows.

Workflow Scope

Built around the way your team already delivers work.

The workflow starts with one painful, repeatable use case, then expands only when reviewers and operators trust the source-backed output.

Who this is for

Teams with document-heavy client delivery workflows and repetitive senior review bottlenecks.

  • IT audit teams
  • SOC 2 advisory teams
  • GRC consultants
  • Internal control review teams

What we automate

Repeatable work that can be drafted with source citations before human review.

  • Control context assembly
  • ToD draft notes
  • ToE draft notes
  • Exception flagging
  • Reviewer approval flows

Outputs

Reviewer-ready artifacts shaped to your templates, evidence standards, and client delivery format.

  • ToD assessment drafts
  • ToE assessment drafts
  • Exception summaries
  • Source-backed control notes

Delivery Design

What the workflow looks like in practice.

Each solution page breaks the buyer workflow into operating steps, reviewer controls, and pilot-fit criteria a serious business team would ask about.

01

Bring together control descriptions, risk statements, policies, procedures, samples, and evidence.

02

Draft Test of Design notes from the control context and supporting documentation.

03

Draft Test of Effectiveness notes from operating evidence and sample support.

04

Escalate exceptions, unsupported claims, and inconsistent evidence for reviewer approval.

Reviewer controls

Controls that keep AI as a drafting layer and preserve professional judgment.

  • Separate ToD and ToE draft areas
  • Exception and sample issue flags
  • Assessment language matched to firm style
  • Reviewer approval history

Good pilot fit

Signals that this workflow is ready for a focused 30-day pilot.

  • Controls repeat across engagements
  • Testing criteria are explicit
  • Evidence samples are available
  • Reviewers spend time rewriting junior notes

Where teams usually expand next.

Most successful pilots start narrow, then expand into neighboring workflows once reviewers trust the output.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the assessment language match our firm style?

Yes. We train the workflow around your phrasing, review conventions, and workpaper format.

Can reviewers override AI drafts?

Yes. Human review, editing, and approval are core parts of the workflow.
