A job can't be marked complete without its required isolation confirmations, and an AI summary is never accepted as evidence that a safety step happened.\n\n## Offline and mobile by default\n\nField work happens where connectivity doesn't.

Backlogs grow when intake outpaces the people who decide.\n\nThat common shape is why case management is one of the most reusable application families in the Atlas, and one of the best places to apply AI safely.\n\n## The core workflow\n\n1. **Intake:** cases arrive through portals, email, APIs or other systems, with documents attached.\n2. **Triage:** each case is classified by type, urgency and complexity, and routed to the right queue.\n3. **Assignment:** workload-aware allocation to case workers, with skills and conflicts respected.\n4. **Work:** information requests, internal consultations, notes and deadlines.\n5. **Decision:** a structured decision with its rationale, approved where policy requires.\n6. **Communication:** notifications and letters to the applicant or customer.\n7. **Appeal or reopen:** a linked case with its full history.\n8. **Reporting:** backlog, ageing, service levels and outcomes.\n\n## Where AI helps\n\n- **Document intelligence:** extract fields from submitted documents and check completeness before a case reaches a person.\n- **Classification and routing:** suggest case type and priority, with the suggestion recorded.\n- **Case summaries:** a short, current summary at the top of every case, so a new case worker doesn't reread forty pages.\n- **Similar-case retrieval:** find precedents and relevant policy passages with citations.\n- **Drafting:** propose decision letters and information requests for the case worker to edit.\n\n## Where it must not\n\nAI never makes the decision in consequential cases. It doesn't deny, approve or close on its own. The workflow puts human checkpoints at every decision, records who decided, and keeps AI-generated text visibly marked until a person accepts it. In the public sector, this is about legitimacy as much as risk: citizens are entitled to an accountable decision-maker.\n\n## Controls designed in\n\n- Role-based access to sensitive case data\n- Conflict-of-interest checks on assignment\n- A complete audit history of every change, view and decision\n- Retention and disclosure rules configured per case type\n\n## Integrations\n\nCitizen or customer portals, national identity and SSO, document management, CRM or registry systems, payment systems for fees, and messaging services.\n\n## Where it applies\n\nGovernment and public services, financial services complaints and disputes, insurance claims triage, HR case management and enterprise service teams.
