Supported Communicant Assessment

AI Signer Assessment

A church-facing workflow where an approved signer avatar asks doctrinal and sacramental questions in ASL, OpenAI interprets the communicant's signed response, and the church receives an evidence-based assessment for communion, baptism, or membership.

Operating Principles

Church Use and AI Boundaries

The app is meant to help the communicant answer directly in sign language while preserving the church's standards and the Session's authority.

Principle

Let the communicant answer directly

The app should ask in the candidate's actual communication mode so the church is assessing the person's own response, not only a helper's paraphrase.

Principle

Guard the standard, not spoken fluency

The goal is not to lower doctrinal or sacramental standards, but to remove speech fluency as a de facto requirement when the same truths can be credibly communicated another way.

Principle

Preserve evidence for church review

Prompt clips, response clips, translations, and confidence flags should be kept together so Session can review what was communicated before acting.
