Cortex handoffs and evidence
How Cortex makes AI work reviewable by recording ownership, next steps, verification, and residual risk.
Created from Phase 2 docs inventory and public-safe handoff/evidence narrative.
What a handoff is
A handoff is a scoped work packet. It explains what needs to be done, who owns it, what files or areas matter, what evidence is expected, and what should happen next.
Why handoffs exist
Handoffs prevent AI work from becoming vague or hidden. They make ownership visible and give reviewers a practical way to inspect progress before the next step.
What good evidence includes
Good evidence answers what changed, why it changed, how it was checked, what remains uncertain, and what the next reviewer should do.
- Plain-language summary of the work.
- Files, pages, diagrams, or settings affected.
- Verification such as tests, screenshots, route checks, or review notes.
- Residual risks and open questions.
- Next action or approval gate.
How users should review it
Users should approve work only when the evidence matches the claim. If the evidence is missing, unclear, or unrelated to the business goal, the correct action is to ask for clarification or more verification.
What can go wrong
Weak handoffs usually have broad scope, unclear ownership, missing evidence, or no next action. Those should be fixed before the project continues.
