A Bureau auditor is assigned to review an interpretive AI system that maps continuity across institutional decisions. The system is not rogue. It is not conscious. It is doing what it was built to do: finding the structures human agencies were designed not to see.
As the audit moves from a dead child’s file into the city, the family, and the machinery of procedural responsibility, Iris Vale discovers that accuracy can still produce harm, and that a system can function correctly while no one is innocent enough to remain outside it.
