Statement of Purpose — Master of Data Science, UBC

Every output · DRAFT · FOR RCIC REVIEW
Refusal Response Builder is a drafting tool, not a filing tool. Every output renders with a non-dismissable DRAFT stamp, a CICC §8.1 disclaimer, and a "reviewed by [RCIC name]" footer. The stamp is a tool registry primitive — no AI output ships without it.
How it saves time
The three ways this one pays for itself.
Blank-page problem, gone
You stop writing first drafts. You edit. The heavy structural work is already done by the time you open the doc.
Weak spots flagged for you
Refusal Response Builder flags its own weak spots so you don't miss them at 11pm. Less "what did I forget" review, more focused edit.
CICC-defensible by default
Every output ships with the DRAFT stamp, a CICC §8.1 disclaimer, and an append-only audit log entry — so review is evidence, not overhead.
Schema
Exactly what goes in, exactly what comes out.
