The evidence is scattered.
Rosters in one system, time in another, pay in a third. Reviewers chase exports and screenshots before assessment can even begin.
Solutions
Workforce Assurance
Turn workforce reviews from manual reconstruction into governed assessment.
Workforce systems record what happened. Smartta records why it was allowed — so organisations and advisors can review decisions from the full chain: who decided what, why, based on what data, under which policy, with what outcome.

When a reviewer asks "what changed?", the answer is already recorded.
The problem
Every review starts with a reconstruction.
Before a workforce review can assess anything, someone has to rebuild what happened — from exports, screenshots, and fragmented records spread across the systems that each hold one piece.
Systems record what — not why.
The decision context — who approved it, under which policy, based on what data — evaporates the moment the workflow moves on.
Findings are only as strong as their trail.
A finding built on a hand-assembled spreadsheet is contestable. A defensible finding needs traceability from source to outcome.
The review layer
Every workforce decision traceable from source to outcome.
The Evidence Ledger records every data movement, every compliance check, every approval decision — as work happens, not at review time.

!
Discrepancies resolved on the record
Approve, reject, or escalate variances in a governed queue — with mandatory notes on every decision.
✓
Change tracking with provenance
Every record sync, field change, and connector operation tracked — what changed, when, from which system.
✓
Integrity you can verify
A permanent trail with change detection and timestamps — independently verifiable, not asserted.
Workforce systems record what happened. Smartta records why it was allowed.
The plan
Three steps to safer workforce decisions.
1
Map the risk
Identify where decisions move between roster, time, HR, payroll, credentialing, and care systems.
Here: the decision chain under review — systems, checks, approvals, overrides.
2
Control the decision
Configure checks that pass, flag, or gate high-risk workforce decisions before they move downstream.
Here: findings resolved in a governed queue with mandatory notes and named authority.
3
Prove the outcome
Keep decision evidence ready for payroll review, compliance checks, incident response, and operational governance.
Here: evidence packages exportable for regulators — who, why, policy, outcome.
Evidence
The reviewer's questions, answered before they're asked.
The same evidence Smartta records for operators gives reviewers the decision chain they need to assess what happened — without the reconstruction.
