1Set the scene
Tell me about the work. The risk level at the top of the screen updates as you go, and the questions below shape themselves to fit.
2Run the soundcheck
Answer a few plain questions about your work. Each answer fills in the right check behind the scenes, and your record builds itself.
3Sign off and release
When the checks that matter are clear, put your name on it. This is you saying the work holds up and it is ready to go out.
Everything saves in your browser as you go and downloads as a Markdown (.md) or Word (.docx) file. Nothing leaves your computer. The Word file includes a line you can sign by hand if you print it.
Why this exists, what it is built on, and the one idea worth holding onto▾
There is no long manual to read here. As you answer the questions above, any answer that leaves something unverified pops up its own short explanation, with an example and what to do about it. This section is the short version: why this exists, what it is built on, and the one idea worth keeping.
Your role: the human who signs off
AI does not know your business, your community, or your customers. You do. This tool is how you put that knowledge to work before AI-assisted work leaves your hands. You set the stakes, check the things that actually matter, and sign off that it is ready. The question to keep asking: "Would I stand behind this if someone asked me about it tomorrow?"
Why this exists, and what "open" means. AI Soundcheck helps you catch where AI-assisted work can go wrong, and builds the habit of checking it before you publish. Marking a check open is not a failure. It is a flag to recheck before release, and the record spells out what is still open and why. The aim is a more careful, more accountable use of AI, not a faster one.
What it is built on, and what it is not. The checks draw on public responsible-AI guidance from the Government of Canada and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and on professional accreditation standards. The record you download is a signed self-attestation: a named person putting their reputation on the work, not an independent audit or a certificate.
