Professional Use & Reliance Statement
The clearest sentence we publish: our software assists professionals, it does not replace them.
Version 1.0 · effective 18 July 2026
01The principle
Obedience software produces assistive drafts and working tools for construction professionals. Outputs are not professional advice, not a valuation, and not a substitute for review by a qualified quantity surveyor or other appropriate professional.
The professional who reviews, amends and signs remains the author of record. That is not a disclaimer bolted on at the end: it is how the product is built. AI suggestions show their source, and nothing client-facing is issued from the product without a human accepting it.
02What this means in practice
- Check quantities, rates and totals before relying on them commercially
- Treat AI-suggested descriptions, classifications and prices as a starting point for professional judgement
- Keep your own professional indemnity arrangements in place: our software does not stand in for them
- Do not present raw, unreviewed output to clients as completed professional work
03Independence
Obedience is an independent software company. We are not endorsed by, affiliated with, or accredited by RICS or any professional body, and nothing in our products confers professional status on any output.
