Deterministic Document Review Protocol

What Is DDRP

DDRP is a deterministic protocol for document review.

It extracts obligation-creating structure from text and renders it into an auditable, repeatable record.

Same document.
Same rules.
Same output.

That constraint is not a feature.
It is the point.

DDRP operates on documents as structured artifacts, not as sources of meaning to be inferred. It identifies explicit linguistic operators— requirements, scope delimiters, definitions, universals, exclusions, temporal anchors—and instantiates them into obligations only when the text supports doing so.

Each obligation is evaluated against a fixed schema:

Who / What / When / Where / Why / How

If a field is absent, DDRP does not infer it.
The absence is recorded as absence.

No interpretation is added.
No intent is guessed.
No confidence is manufactured.

DDRP does not:


How DDRP Is Used

For a concrete, step-by-step explanation of how DDRP operates inside a real workflow—from document ingestion through deterministic artifact generation— see the operational how-to guide below.

To evaluate DDRP end-to-end, a complete execution walkthrough is available. It documents a deterministic run using California Assembly Bill 853 (2025).
