What have AI tools concretely delivered in mandates?

Last updated: 7 September 2026Evidence status per row

Two results from two mandates since July 2026, each with a date and its evidence status. A prototype is called a prototype: built and reviewed, but not yet in monthly operation. Measured means: the value exists and is documented. In both cases the work started with the data base.

In both cases the machine read, linked, calculated and checked: 11 files and around 600 pages of documents. Which inputs deliberately remain inputs and what to claim was financial judgement. What the work looked like inside the mandate is on the PeriGuard page in the section Data base and automation.
