Components and roles

Every component earns its place.

  1. 01
    Workflow scope

    Defines the task, owner, constraints, risks, and success criteria.

  2. 02
    Selected tools and models

    Run only the bounded steps chosen for the pilot.

  3. 03
    Review checklist

    Checks claims, evidence, uncertainty, privacy, and handoff quality.

  4. 04
    Decision record

    Preserves what worked, what failed, and what to change next.

Data flow

Real team task → bounded test → human review → workflow revision → repeatable handoff

Default choices

Start here, then switch for a stated reason.

Pilot scope

One frequent task with a named owner

Selection reason
A bounded task makes failures, review cost, and handoff quality observable.
Switch when
Expand only after the first task has stable inputs, acceptance criteria, and review ownership.

Control record

Checklist plus decision record

Selection reason
Makes human checkpoints and changes visible without requiring a workflow platform.
Switch when
Adopt an orchestration system when scheduling, approvals, retries, or audit logs become operational requirements.

Operating assumptions

Cost, privacy, alternatives, and limits.

Cost assumption
Tool subscriptions and usage vary; scope one workflow and a fixed test window before estimating.
Privacy boundary
Only approved task inputs should enter the pilot; sensitive fields need removal or an approved provider path.
Reference implementation
Workflow brief + selected AI step + review checklist + decision record.
Alternatives
Keep the workflow manual when the task is rare, high-risk, or lacks an accountable reviewer.
Known limitation
The linked case demonstrates evidence review on model answers. It does not verify an end-to-end team workflow or its operational results.

Human checkpoints

Keep accountable decisions visible.

  1. Approve task scope and data
  2. Review consequential claims or actions
  3. Accept the final workflow handoff
