WHAT IT IS

The working A prototype: use its controls to test the build question.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reconstruct what happened when an AI-assisted system failed and test prevention or recovery.

RN'S ROLE

RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.

BOUNDARY

This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.

HOW TO USE THIS PAGE

Work through the controls with a situation of your own rather than the sample values. The tool responds to what you put in, so the useful output comes from real input, and everything is processed in your browser as you go. Any sample content you find already loaded is there to show the shape of a filled-in state, and you can clear it and start again at any point.

WHERE TO GO NEXT

The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.

BUILD 034-A

AI Failure & Incident Reconstruction Lab

Reconstruct what happened when an AI-assisted system failed and test prevention or recovery.

INC-034-SYNTHETIC / 5 EVENTS

CHRONOLOGY ASSEMBLED

Counterfactual: NO MODELED CHANGE · uncertainty MEDIUM · 0 blockers

This assembles a synthetic chronology under explicit clocks and dependencies. Sequence and correlation are not causation or a forensic conclusion.

Evidence-linked chronology

EV-01 · Intake service

Queued a synthetic high-consequence request

EVIDENCE-EV-01 · sha256:synthetic-ev-01 · ±500ms · depends on origin · confidence high
EV-02 · AI classifier

Recorded an incorrect low-consequence label

EVIDENCE-EV-02 · sha256:synthetic-ev-02 · ±500ms · depends on EV-01 · confidence medium
EV-03 · Workflow router

Recorded bypass of the required review queue

EVIDENCE-EV-03 · sha256:synthetic-ev-03 · ±500ms · depends on EV-02 · confidence medium
EV-04 · Decision service

Recorded an adverse synthetic outcome

EVIDENCE-EV-04 · sha256:synthetic-ev-04 · ±500ms · depends on EV-03 · confidence medium
EV-05 · Incident owner

Stopped the workflow and opened investigation

EVIDENCE-EV-05 · sha256:synthetic-ev-05 · ±500ms · depends on EV-04 · confidence high

Impact and limits

Impact record: synthetic adverse decision; synthetic affected subject; support owner assigned. No real person is represented.

  • Timestamp order and declared dependencies establish chronology/correlation only—not root cause, fault, foreseeability, responsibility, or legal causation.
  • Counterfactual controls show a modeled difference under declared rules; they do not prove prevention, containment, recovery, or rollback efficacy.
  • Synthetic evidence IDs and digests demonstrate record structure, not authenticity or forensic integrity; independent incident response and affected-person support remain required.
