Definition
In this glossary, automated review usually means asking a model or analysis system to evaluate an artifact against instructions, a rubric, or quality criteria and report possible problems. It can catch issues that fixed checks do not encode, especially when performed from an independent context. Model-based reviews are probabilistic and may miss or invent findings, so their claims need evidence and should complement deterministic checks and accountable human judgment rather than replace them.
