Four bottlenecks in the standards lifecycle. Four tools. One control architecture.
The four tools below address the four most measurable time costs in the IHS revision and publication lifecycle. The same human-in-the-loop architecture supports all of them. Together they free an estimated 0.6 to 1.2 FTE of analyst time annually, returned to scientific and technical work that AI cannot do.
Each addresses a discrete BIES workflow. Each is live. Each cites its sources.
Click into any tool. The sample tabs run pre-cached Claude output for instant testing. The "Bring your own" tab makes a live API call from your browser using your own Anthropic API key.
Submission Synthesis
Reads a stack of public consultation submissions on a draft IHS. Clusters by theme. Surfaces minority views. Drafts the Review of Submissions, with verbatim quotes cited back to source and explicit human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Standard Consistency Check
Compare a draft IHS clause against the BIES IHS template structure and the corpus of in-force IHSs. Returns a structural and terminological redline before the draft enters consultation.
Plain-Language Importer Guidance
Generate plain-language importer-facing guidance from any IHS clause or OMAR section, with verifiable cross-reference back to source. Supports the directorate's quality and consistency mandate, and reduces front-line query volume.
Change Explainer
Paste two versions of an IHS clause. The tool produces a clean diff, plus a structured explanation of what changed, what it means in practice for importers, and the operational and risk impact of each change. Ready to drop into a notification email or industry update.
Six controls. One architecture. Auditable, OIA-ready, and reversible.
A genAI assistant is only fit for BIES if a reasonable analyst would trust the output, a reasonable auditor could verify it, and a reasonable Director would sign their name to a standard built on it. The architecture below applies to every tool in the suite.
Every claim cites the source.
The model returns a verbatim quote and a source reference for every assertion. The analyst can verify in seconds. No claim survives without a citation.
Uncertainty is visible, not buried.
Each output element carries an explicit high, medium or low confidence tag. Low confidence elements route automatically to verification before disposition.
Scientific or legal questions are flagged out.
Where a theme involves scientific risk, legal interpretation, or technical judgement outside the model's scope, it is tagged for SME review. The model proposes nothing in those cases.
The tool drafts. The analyst decides.
No auto-publish, no auto-disposition, no system action triggered by the model. Every output is a draft for analyst review and Director sign-out.
Misrouted inputs surface, not vanish.
Submissions, queries or clauses that fall outside scope are listed separately with a recommended routing destination. They never quietly disappear from the analyst view.
Every prompt and response is logged.
In a production deployment, every model call, prompt version, and response is captured to MPI records. Reviewable by audit, by the Director, and by any submitter under the Official Information Act.
A complete operating model, decision rights matrix, four-tier risk classification, and pre-mortem are set out in the Governance page.
Four ways in, depending on what you want to see.
Want the workflow analysis first?
The Needs Analysis page maps the IHS revision lifecycle, identifies the four bottlenecks the suite addresses, and quantifies each with real BIES output data drawn from public sources.
Want to use a tool right now?
Open any of the four tool pages. Click "Run analysis" on a sample tab and you have a real Claude output in under a second. No setup. No API key.
Want the governance and value case?
The Governance page is the operating model. The Value Model is a live calculator, slide the assumptions and watch the numbers move.
Want to know who built it?
The About page sets out who I am, why this matters to me, and how my MPI Animal Exports and process improvement work prepared me for the role.
Want to see the full source data?
Every page cites the public source it draws on. The footer of each page links to the relevant MPI documents and the Biosecurity Act sections in play.
