1. Define the task
Be specific about what the system should help with, what remains out of scope and what a useful result looks like.
Useful AI work starts with a real problem, appropriate data, measurable evaluation and clear human responsibility. This page describes the implementation principles used to structure AI discussions and projects.
These are engineering and planning principles, not a compliance framework, certification or guarantee.
Be specific about what the system should help with, what remains out of scope and what a useful result looks like.
Use only the data needed for the task and separate public, internal, personal and confidential information appropriately.
Consider authentication, authorization, secrets, document permissions and data exposure before connecting models to systems.
Decide where a person must review, approve, correct or reject AI-generated output, especially when consequences are meaningful.
Test representative cases, failure modes and unacceptable answers instead of judging only a polished demonstration.
Plan for monitoring, model or prompt changes, cost, latency, fallback behavior and ongoing review after launch.
The exact stack depends on the use case. The sequence below keeps the decision process technology-neutral.
Define the user, task and expected outcome.
Identify sources, permissions and sensitivity.
Validate the workflow before overbuilding.
Test useful, incorrect and unsafe outcomes.
Connect software, controls and human review.
Describe the workflow, users, data and desired outcome. We can decide whether AI is actually the right tool after the requirement is clear.
