SAICA CA2025
Running on the pattern library, with no AI. Every suggestion below comes from a curated mapping a person wrote, so it costs nothing to run, gives the same answer every time, and your work never leaves this machine. Anything the library does not recognise is flagged for you to map yourself rather than guessed at.
Switch AI mode on

The tool is working now, on the pattern library alone, and most of it is whole without this. AI mode adds the parts patterns cannot reach: technical outcomes, evidence questions written about your own work, and splitting a spoken month into entries. It costs about $0.0065 a review, and it sends the entries the pattern library cannot place to a third-party engine — so it is your firm's call, not this page's default.

Turn a period of work into a Learning Outcome Review

Talk through your month

Easier than remembering to write it down. Say what you worked on, roughly in order, however it comes out — “first week I was on the Woolworths audit doing creditors, then I had to redo the bank rec because the client sent the wrong statement”. It gets split into separate entries, in your words, for you to check.

Splitting needs AI mode, and it is off — so this will tell you to type the lines yourself instead.

Keep your log in Excel

One row per notable thing, not per billable hour. Three or four rows a week is enough — Friday afternoon, looking back, with your timesheet open to jog your memory.

  1. Download the template once, and keep it somewhere you will find it.
  2. Add a few rows a week. It is your file; nothing is sent anywhere until you upload it.
  3. Upload it whenever a review is due.

Not sure a line is worth logging?

Type it here as you would write it in the spreadsheet. This runs on the pattern library, so it answers instantly and nothing is sent anywhere.

Or paste a few lines

One per line. Begin a line with a date (2026-08-04) and the rest is the entry. Handy for trying this out before you commit to the spreadsheet.

No engine calls. Everything on this page came from the pattern library, which runs on this machine and costs nothing.
