  2. 02Developers: notify deployers of material updates or modifications to covered ADMT.
  3. 03Deployers: give consumers clear, conspicuous notice at the point of interaction with covered ADMT.
  4. 04Deployers: within 30 days of an adverse consequential decision, give a plain-language description of the ADMT's role.
  5. 05Let consumers access and correct personal data used, and request meaningful human review and reconsideration of adverse decisions.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
