Table 6What remains human when AI enters revenue lifecycle stages?
| Candidate AI contribution | Human responsibility | Minimum record |
|---|---|---|
| Classify a process instance | Check the state definition, entry evidence, and population. | Input fields, model version, reviewer, and correction. |
| Suggest the next state | Confirm the exit event, acceptance, and next-state rule. | Recommendation, evidence, owner, and disposition. |
| Detect a missing transition | Decide whether the gap is data quality, a hold, a return, or a real exception. | Missing field, reason, reviewer, and status. |
| Summarize lifecycle movement | Check unit, denominator, period, censoring, and alternative explanations. | Source records, summary version, exclusions, and sign-off. |
| Recommend a process change | Approve the risk, reversibility, review date, and commercial action. | Recommendation, override, rationale, and outcome. |
