  "short_answer": "Before using AI or automation for SaaS security questionnaires, separate approved company facts from proof-needed, owner-needed, adviser-needed and blocked-claim items. AICS is positioned as a no-credentials owner-evidence review layer: map approved sources, stale proof, human approval gates, SLA risk and safe answer reuse before customer-facing answers are sent or tools are scaled.",
