CHAI (Compliance Helper for AI) is a BC-incorporated CCPC developing novel AI-assisted compliance infrastructure for the community care sector. This package documents qualifying SR&ED work conducted April–December 2025.
Findings that achieved Hardy PRESTIGE state (≥0.90 confidence via 7-chamber Byzantine consensus). Each represents a resolved technological uncertainty with reproducible git-versioned evidence.
Active investigations where the outcome cannot be determined through standard practice. Each represents genuine scientific or technological uncertainty requiring systematic study.
Whether probabilistic pair-comparison models generalize to LLM output quality ranking in healthcare compliance contexts.
Whether LLM-assisted pipeline achieves sufficient precision for audit trail use on raw caregiver language. Phase 4 (production validation) in progress.
Whether compliance rules can be externalized so adding a new jurisdiction requires only configuration changes, not code changes. BC done; second province (ON or AB) pending.
Whether the de-identification gate + dual-routing architecture meets BC data sovereignty requirements under operational load. Architecture validated; production testing ongoing.
Whether a Canadian-specific AI benchmark (30-day readmission, HSMR) is constructable from CIHI + ICES + PopulationDataBC with ICD-10-CA normalization. No published public benchmark currently exists for Canada.
Whether structured compliance event extraction from voice/text notes achieves audit-ready precision under production conditions with diverse care staff writing styles.
CHAI's R&D uses two interlocked methodologies: Hardy confidence states for epistemological rigor, and the UEP 4-phase framework for systematic documentation — both designed to satisfy CRA's systematic investigation requirement.
| Hardy State | Confidence | CRA Category |
|---|---|---|
| PRESTIGE | ≥ 0.90 | Technical Advancement (T776 Part 3) |
| HYPOTHETICAL | 0.65–0.89 | Systematic Investigation (T776 Part 2) |
| LATENT | < 0.65 | Technological Uncertainty (T776 Part 1) |

All four CRA elements are documented and evidence-backed. Package generated from git-versioned audit trail by TEAOS SR&ED infrastructure (built November 2025).
