Expert review is the constraint in this field: few persons combine depth in Islamic jurisprudence with competence in smart-contract engineering. The Institute’s preliminary automated review exists to make that scarce expert review tractable — not to replace it.
What it does
The automated engine takes a submission’s materials — contracts, token design, and documentation — and produces a preliminary, advisory assessment: a structured file that organizes the submission so that qualified reviewers begin from an ordered and consistent presentation rather than from unstructured code.
Its function is to standardize submissions and to present each in a form suited to expert review.
What it does not do
The engine does not certify, approve, or determine. It issues no determination of any kind.
- Preliminary only. Qualified persons review every submission. The structured file is an input to that review, not a substitute for it.
- An adverse result does not prevent review. Where the engine identifies concerns, the submission nonetheless proceeds to review by qualified persons. The engine does not control access to expert review.
- It advises; qualified persons determine. Every determination is issued by qualified persons at an accredited advisory firm.
Its purpose
By performing the organizing work first, the engine allows a limited number of qualified reviewers to consider more submissions, and more consistently, than would otherwise be possible. That is its function — to extend the reach of expert review, not to automate it.
