It is intentionally a Small Language Model — quantised, narrow, fast — rather than a frontier-scale model. Its job is not conversation. Its job is semantic translation: turning institutional intent (English commands, document content, taxonomy queries) into deterministic outputs (binary commands, `VALID`/`REJECT` decisions, Chart-of-Accounts socket assignments). It is invisible — there is no chat window, and the operator never types into `service-slm` directly. The surface above it presents a structured workflow; `service-slm` is the silent intermediary. This article covers the four operations, the three compute tiers, the Doorman audit boundary, and why a small model is a structural choice, not a cost compromise. @@ -49,13 +56,13 @@ The Doorman is the audit-routing checkpoint between `service-slm` and the rest o The Doorman exists for three reasons: 1. **Regulatory.** ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System) requires an immutable log of AI-assisted decisions. 1. **Regulatory.** ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System) [^1] requires an immutable log of AI-assisted decisions. 2. **Operational.** A self-healing system needs a corpus of its own past behaviour.
