ROCADA: ISO 9001 traceability in an AI-assisted design process, version by version, without a single nonconformity.

ISO 9001:2015 · Clause 7.5, Documented Information

ROCADA does not work with static documents.

Its design process begins with PowerPoint templates that artificial intelligence modifies as the process unfolds: version after version, iteration after iteration. Every change generated by AI is a new asset. And every new asset must be controlled in accordance with Clause 7.5 of ISO 9001, Documented Information.

ISO 9001:2015 is explicit: the organization must control documented information to ensure that it is available, suitable for its intended use, and protected against loss of confidentiality, misuse, or loss of integrity.

When documented information is generated by an AI, none of those guarantees exist by default.

---

ROCADA's quality team saw it clearly: dozens of versions of design assets per week, all generated or modified by the LLM, none with a formal record of authorship, current version, or human intervention ratio.

Without traceability, every iteration posed a risk of non-compliance—not at the end of the quarter, but the moment the AI generated the file.

Using AI in the design process without traceability isn't innovation. It's risk built into every file.

The problem was structural

Risk, ISO 9001:2015 · Clause 7.5

A process using real AI. No verifiable documented information.

ISO 9001 requires complete control over documented information: which version is current, who created it, when it was approved, and which process generated it. When that process involves artificial intelligence, the standard remains the same, but traceability is lost by default.

An audit without document traceability is not an operational issue. It is a major nonconformity.

• No formal record of authorship for the generated version
• No monitoring of the AI-to-human ratio for each asset
• No evidence of the version in effect at any given time
• No traceability of the complete history of iterations

A point of integration. Every version, mapped out.

V-PROOF integrated directly into ROCADA's workflow. No need to change tools. No need to replace templates. No need to redesign how the design and quality teams work.

From that point on, every time the AI generates or modifies a design asset, V-PROOF automatically audits it. In the side panel, the manager sees the technical verdict as the process unfolds:

Approved · With comments · Rejected

IA generates/modifies design assets → V-PROOF audits during the workflow (IA/human ratio · authorship · clause 7.5) → Technical verdict visible in the side panel → 1 click seals the asset: SHA-256 + timestamp + L2 blockchain → V-Seal generated with complete metadata · verifiable via QR code

01

Audited

V-PROOF the AI-to-human ratio, authorship, and regulatory context. Each LLM output is validated at the exact moment it is generated.

02

Sealed

SHA-256 + timestamp anchored to the Base L2 blockchain. The hash is verifiable from the very first second.

03

Layout

The V-Seal includes complete metadata: author, date, AI/human ratio, and hash. Every version of the asset—not just the final one—is included in the audit trail.

What Changes, and What Doesn't

ROCADA did not change its design process. It did not migrate its templates. It did not train its team on new approval workflows. It integrated V-PROOF where the AI is used.

The documentation control required by ISO 9001 takes place at the source, at the moment the AI generates the asset. Not afterward. Not during a manual review. Not the day before the audit.

When the ISO auditor arrives, ROCADA provides complete traceability for each design asset: current version, author, AI involvement, and approval date . All of this can be verified via the QR code—without access to internal systems—in seconds.

That's what it means to integrate compliance into the infrastructure layer—not as a separate, subsequent process, but as part of the workflow where the teams are already working.

Is your AI process ready for an ISO audit?

Compliance happens at the source, the moment the AI is at work.
Not afterward. Not the day before the audit.
