What we found

Level 2 · augmentative

Completes the unit of work end to end without a person producing it, but the engagement partner signs the audit opinion; the work cannot be delegated to software. That checkpoint is imposed from outside the product, not configured within it.

The human checkpoint here is imposed by regulation — it is not a setting that can be turned off.

Where it’s weak

Not available as a third-party software purchase — only accessible through engaging KPMG as auditor, unlike EY.ai, Deloitte Zora, or PwC's GL.ai which follow similar internal-tool-only models across the Big 4.
