Documentation
England Works Watch
UK sponsor compliance/change intelligence for AI agents and employer workflows.
This product converts current UK Home Office sponsor guidance into deterministic, evidence-linked change-impact decisions for Skilled Worker sponsors. It is designed for employer HR/People Ops agents, HRIS/payroll/recruitment workflows, sponsor-compliance tooling, and regulated adviser tooling. It is not an individual visa-advice chatbot.
Decision contract
Every supported change returns exactly one of:
AFFECTEDNOT_AFFECTEDREVIEW_REQUIREDINSUFFICIENT_INPUT
Every substantive decision includes rule-pack version, effective date, rationale, official GOV.UK evidence, source version, source locator, and required next action where applicable. Missing critical facts, unsupported routes, contradictory inputs, or non-current source evidence fail closed.
V0.1 scope
Supported events: worker start delay; unauthorised absence; unpaid/reduced-pay absence; salary change; role/occupation change; normal work-location change; stopping sponsorship; sponsor organisation changes; TUPE transfer; merger/takeover.
Route scope is deliberately limited to Skilled Worker + sponsor duties.
Validation gate
- 10 independent change-impact cases

Architecture
Agent structured facts -> MCP/x402 boundary -> source lifecycle gate -> deterministic rule engine -> evidence-linked result -> privacy-minimal analytics
There is no server-side LLM in the decision path.
Safety
Evidence-first sponsor compliance preflight only. Not legal advice, a Home Office decision, or a guarantee of compliance. REVIEW_REQUIRED and INSUFFICIENT_INPUT must never be presented downstream as clearance.
