How It Works

Every R.I.C.H.O. request follows a defined path from user input to structured output. API credentials never touch the browser. Outputs are validated before they reach you.

01

User input

You select a specialist AI tool and submit an objective, question or authorised business information through the tool interface. A privacy warning is displayed before submission.

02

Secure server processing

Your input is sent to the Richo Systems secure server. API credentials and AI configuration remain server-side and are never exposed to the browser.

03

Assigned AI activation

The server activates the AI assigned to that tool. Each AI follows role-specific instructions, approved knowledge and declared permission limits.

04

Evidence and quality controls

Internal validators check the AI output for evidence status, unsupported claims, safety issues and quality standards before the result is returned.

05

Permission limits enforced

The AI operates within its declared permission boundary. Actions outside that boundary are blocked. Restricted actions are logged and reported.

06

Human approval gate

Consequential actions — external communications, publications, connected-system changes — are paused and routed for explicit owner or human approval before execution.

07

Structured output

A structured result is returned to the interface. Outputs include findings, scores, priorities, risks, evidence status and recommended next steps.

08

Optional authorised integration

Where an authorised external integration exists and owner approval has been granted, the system may execute a defined action within the approved scope.

09

Logging and auditability

All activity is logged. Inputs, outputs, permission checks, approval decisions and blocked actions are recorded for audit purposes.

10

Error handling

If the AI cannot produce a valid result, a clear error message is returned. No partial or unvalidated output is presented as complete.

11

Data treatment

Submitted information is used only to generate the requested output. See the Privacy page for full details on retention, deletion and external processing.
