AI workflow recipes for work you already understand.
Pick one repeatable task. Build in the human checkpoint.

What is a bounded AI workflow for a small business?
Bounded AI workflow
A bounded AI workflow gives a model one narrow drafting or classification task with approved inputs, a defined output, a named reviewer, explicit stop conditions, and a manual fallback.02What data should a small business allow into an AI workflow?
Approved data boundary
Allow only the minimum information needed for the task after the business has classified it, removed prohibited detail, and verified the provider's current handling, access, retention, training, and deletion terms.03What makes an AI prompt source-grounded?
Source-grounded prompt
A source-grounded prompt tells the model which approved material it may use, requires it to separate supplied facts from assumptions, defines the output format, and marks uncertainty instead of filling gaps.04Where should a human checkpoint sit in an AI workflow?
Human checkpoint
Place an active human approval immediately before the workflow sends, publishes, pays, changes access, records a decision, makes a promise, or affects a person.Choose the boundary before the tool
