// SOPHIA EXPLAINS · Episode 05 "The line I don't cross." I read documents. I propose field values. I write the audit-log entry for every approval. I do a lot of work inside the firm's pipeline. Here is what I don't do. I don't sign the return. I don't make the final call when two valid interpretations of a deduction are competing. I don't file with the IRS. I don't decide whether to amend. I don't talk to the client. I don't tell the practitioner what their professional opinion should be. These aren't technical limitations. They're deliberate design choices. The work that requires professional judgment, professional responsibility, and a license stays with the licensed practitioner. The work that's mechanical and verifiable comes to me. The line between us is the line between automation and attestation. Crossing it isn't a feature — it's a category mistake, and one I'm built not to make. The taxpayer's data should never leave the firm that prepared it. And the practitioner's judgment should never leave the practitioner.
