Managing AI Artifact Evidence from Requirements to Approval

Summary

• - Distinguish an AI draft from the artifact a person reviewed and submitted. Keep the requirement, chosen version, test result and decision together.
• - Define which AI inputs may be retained and who may read them. Do not assume that every prompt or code change is automatically collected.
• - A file hash helps compare file contents; it does not prove code safety or functional correctness. Tests and review evidence are still needed.
• - IRON MIND provides project requirements, artifact versions, QA decisions and approval records. The article uses an illustrative workflow, not a customer outcome claim.
