INDEPENDENCE & ACCOUNTABILITY
Independent delivery checks sit at the core of the CANUS programme. This page explains how they are governed: CANUS checks contracted AI capacity deliveries against the requirements the parties have agreed, and gives the named organisations signed results they can use. How we check is proprietary. The result, its limits and our accountability for it are not.
PRINCIPLES
Your systems are not on trial
The delivery is an agreed event
The standard comes from the agreement
The result is one of three
YOUR RIGHTS TO THE EVIDENCE
Under the CANUS appointment, each organisation named to use the result can ask us to explain the evidence for its agreed use, without the payer's permission or first proving an error. We must respond, correct the record where needed, and identify unresolved questions or further work. The history is preserved.
The company paying for the programme cannot veto a named organisation's right to question our evidence.
RESPONSIBILITIES
CANUS
THE PARTIES
IF THE REQUIRED CHECK CANNOT BE ARRANGED FOR THE AGREED SCOPE, THE OUTCOME IS INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, NOT A SOFTER RESULT.
THE RESULT
The result is signed and preserved either way. The parties apply it under their own agreements.
Consistent
The evidence supports the agreed requirements within the stated scope.
Inconsistent
The evidence conflicts with one or more agreed requirements.
Insufficient evidence
The evidence is insufficient to decide one or more requirements.
QUESTIONS AND CORRECTIONS
An organisation named to use the result can ask CANUS to reopen it on new evidence or a claimed error. CANUS reviews from the preserved record and issues a correction or a considered refusal, with reasons.
The original result is never edited in place. A correction enters the Register as a linked record, connected to the result it corrects. The full history remains available to every named organisation.
WHAT TO ASK
CANUS will answer each of these in writing before the order is signed.
What exactly will you check, and which requirements will it resolve?
What can stop a delivery being checked in its agreed window?
What does a named organisation's right to question cover, and what does it cost?
What does INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE mean for our contract, and how is it resolved?
Which obligations remain ours when others use the result?
