Roles and responsibility

CaseTrace provides infrastructure. Responsibility remains human.

CaseTrace (system)

  • Preserve records
  • Structure events and timelines
  • Compute similarity
  • Surface possible correlations
  • Provide informational notifications
  • Maintain audit logs

Operators / investigators

  • Interpret similarity results
  • Evaluate context and history
  • Determine whether identity is resolved
  • Decide next steps

Authorities

  • Enforce
  • Determine outcomes

Key statement

CaseTrace does not make investigative determinations and does not assume operational responsibility.

Decision authority

All decisions regarding identity resolution, escalation, intervention, or referral are human decisions governed by organizational policy and applicable law. The system provides information to support human decision-making; it does not decide, order, or schedule enforcement or intervention.
