An aircraft does not depart because the cabin looks finished. Independent checks confirm the systems, record exceptions and stop release when a required item is absent.

Research gates validate schema, lineage, status, claims, limitations and approved presentation. Learn gates add editorial, link and visual-status checks.
Routine checks should be deterministic and automated; human review focuses on judgment, safety and exceptions. Failures remain visible internally.
