1) Does this replace a Sharia board or scholar review?
No. Use it to enforce configured screening rules, keep documentation organized, and prepare summaries. Final Sharia governance decisions remain with your appointed reviewers.
2) How does it support Sukuk workflows?
It can track issuance checklists, document versions, and approval steps, helping teams coordinate across legal, structuring, and compliance functions.

Yes—use rule-based monitoring for sector exclusions and ratio thresholds, then produce exception reports for human review.
