The premise
AI can take effort distributions across grants and produce a per-PI narrative the PI can verify before certifying.
What AI does well here
- Lay out effort by award against the certification period
- Highlight changes from the prior period that need PI explanation
- Format to the institution's effort certification template
What AI cannot do
- Certify effort on the PI's behalf
- Reallocate effort to fix variances
- Replace the audit-ready conversation between PI and administrator
