Use Cases

# Your teams use AI on work that gets audited. Here is what that has to survive.

Fifteen worked examples, by industry. Each one starts from a control somebody in your organization already has to satisfy: a PCI boundary, a SOX change record, a NERC CIP evidence request, a licensed engineer's personal liability on a stamped drawing. Then it sets out what AI-assisted development has to do differently for that control to hold up when somebody asks.

[Not sure which one you need? Start here.](https://encephalon.net/where-to-start/)

## Financial Services

[### Keep AI-assisted development inside the PCI boundary

Encode your PCI DSS coding standards into every AI-assisted session so the cardholder data boundary stays tight while engineers keep their speed.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/financial-services-pci-boundary/)

[### Produce SOX-grade change evidence for AI-assisted code

Give auditors a structured record of how AI contributed to each code change, tied to your controls, instead of a story reconstructed after the fact.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/financial-services-sox-change-evidence/)

[### Hold model code and documentation to your validation standard

Model documentation that arrives review-ready, because your validation-evidence standards are encoded into the sessions that produce it.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/financial-services-model-documentation/)

## Energy & Utilities

[### Make AI-assisted development defensible in a NERC CIP audit

Development work that touches CIP-scoped systems produces its own audit evidence as it happens, instead of being reconstructed before the audit.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/energy-utilities-nerc-cip-evidence/)

[### Keep AI-assisted development on the IT side of the IT/OT boundary

AI velocity on corporate IT and business systems, with the operational technology boundary respected by design rather than tested by accident.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/energy-utilities-it-ot-boundary/)

[### Preserve institutional knowledge through separation and workforce change

Conventions and design rationale get encoded once and carried forward, so retirements and system separations stop taking knowledge with them.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/energy-utilities-institutional-knowledge/)

## Healthcare

[### Guard protected health information in AI-assisted development

Minimum-necessary PHI handling encoded into every AI-assisted session, instead of left to each developer's memory of the HIPAA training module.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/healthcare-phi-protection/)

[### Support change-control evidence for medical device software

A structured record of how AI contributed to each regulated software change, feeding your design history file with less manual reconstruction.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/healthcare-device-change-control/)

[### Hold FHIR interoperability standards steady across teams

Your organization's FHIR profiles become the default every AI-assisted session builds to, so resource mappings stop diverging team by team.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/healthcare-fhir-interoperability/)

## Insurance

[### Turn the AI governance program into rules the coding session honors

The development-facing controls in your NAIC-driven AI governance program become working rules in every session, not shelfware in a policy binder.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/insurance-governance-program-execution/)

[### Flag prohibited and known-proxy variables in rating and underwriting code

Your maintained list of prohibited and known-proxy variables is checked in the code engineers write, at the point of change, not after deployment.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/insurance-prohibited-variables/)

[### Hold actuarial model code and documentation to standard

Actuarial documentation standards encoded once and applied in every session, so the work arrives review-ready instead of bouncing back for rework.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/insurance-actuarial-documentation/)

## Architecture, Engineering & Construction

[### Give the stamping engineer traceability over AI-assisted deliverables

A licensed PE carries personal liability for what they stamp. Give them a reviewable account of how AI contributed to the work under their seal.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/aec-stamping-traceability/)

[### Keep code and spec interpretation consistent across disciplines

The firm's building-code and specification interpretations become the shared default across structural, civil, and MEP work.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/aec-spec-interpretation-consistency/)

[### Meet client-specific requirements on public and government projects

Each client's security, data-handling, and deliverable requirements are encoded and applied automatically on that client's work.](https://encephalon.net/use-cases/aec-client-specific-requirements/)
