How Beacon checks its work
AI does the heavy lifting. People make the call.
Every Beacon file passes three sets of hands before it reaches you: the AI analyst that builds it, a second AI that recounts it, and a person who samples it on the county sites.
Bishop
BEACON'S AI ANALYST
Works for Beacon. Builds each county file: records, screening, scoring, buyer documents.
Independent audit
A SECOND AI RECOUNTS
Every flag, score and tier is recounted from the file itself. No AI checks its own work.
Human sign-off
A PERSON SAMPLES IT
Rows are looked up on the county sites by hand before a file goes on sale.
THE RULE
Nothing ships until the audit and the sign-off both pass.
