Learning Goals
By the end of this module, learners should be able to complete the workflow in CherryBank and explain the accounting reason behind each important step.
- Review suggested categories and confidence indicators.
- Use Approve, Fix category and Ignore actions.
- Explain why role-gated approval matters.
- Read audit trail entries for suggestion decisions.
Lesson Plan
Use these lesson blocks for lecture delivery, live demo and class discussion.
Suggestion queue
The queue lets users process suggested categories without exposing them to complex bookkeeping screens.
Confidence and judgement
Confidence is a review signal, not a guarantee. Low-confidence suggestions require careful checking.
Audit trail
Approved, fixed and ignored suggestions should leave a trace so reviewers can understand decisions.
Step-By-Step Lab
This is the student-facing sequence for the practical class. Complete the steps in order, then capture the evidence listed below.
- Open the smart suggestions queue.
- Filter or scan for high, medium and low confidence suggestions.
- Open the source record before approving any suggested category.
- Approve a correct suggestion and record the reason.
- Fix an incorrect category and choose the better category.
- Ignore a suggestion that is not useful or lacks evidence.
- Open the audit trail and verify each action was recorded.

Practice Brief
- Approve three high-confidence category suggestions.
- Fix two wrong categories and write why they were changed.
- Ignore one inappropriate suggestion.
- Review the audit log for the actions completed.
Knowledge Check
Use these questions for in-class review, a short quiz or a reflective workbook entry.
- What does a confidence badge tell the reviewer?
- When should a user fix a category instead of approving it?
- Why is the audit trail important for AI-assisted actions?
Assessment And Evidence
Students should submit proof that the workflow was completed and a short explanation of the decisions made.
Student Evidence
- Submit a short review note explaining one approved, one fixed and one ignored suggestion.
- Identify a case where AI should not be trusted without evidence.
Trainer Notes
