The Live Review Engine runs host-driven, participant-attested review sessions in real time. A staff host drives a queued list of items from their screen; one or more participants follow along on their own device (typically an iPad reached via a QR code) and record decisions, notes, and a signed attestation as each item is reviewed. Every action is written to a tamper-evident audit trail, and the completed session prints to a signed binder. It’s a generic engine — its first and most built-out use is compliance reviews. Open it at /reviews.

​
When to use it

  • Walk a client or employee through compliance findings live, capturing accept/modify/decline decisions with signatures.
  • Any session that needs a signed, per-item attestation with a legal audit trail.
  • Multi-reviewer sessions where different SMEs own different domains, each with a scoped queue.

​
How a session works

1

Host opens the console and shows a QR

The host console (/reviews/{id}/host) displays a QR code; the participant scans it to load their kiosk view at /r/{token}.
2

Host drives the queue

Start the session and it goes live. The host controls Start / Pause / Resume / Goto — participants can only advance while the host is live.
3

Participant attests each item

For each item the participant records a decision (acknowledge / modified / decline), optional notes, and a drawn signature.
4

Sign and close

At the end the participant signs the session and the host signs; the host ends it, the participant’s access is revoked, and completion hooks write the decisions back to the source records.
Host and participant views stay in sync in real time (server-sent events), and every transition is recorded in the audit trail.

​
Multi-reviewer sessions

Assign subject-matter experts to specific domains — each gets a scoped queue and their own signature block, and the host sees a live matrix of per-reviewer progress.

​
Signed binder

A completed session prints to a binder summarizing every item, decision, signature, and duration.

​
Good to know

  • Compliance reviews are the fully wired use today. The engine also supports HR reviews, training, onboarding, post-mortems, and vendor attestations as session types, but those aren’t built out with domain content yet.
  • The binder is printed to PDF from the browser (Print → Save as PDF), not a pre-rendered file.
  • Real-time coordination is single-process; participant links expire after 24 hours (and immediately when the host ends the session).
