Make the task, input, checkpoint, stop, evidence, and exit visible.

Seven original guides move from choosing a narrow task through data boundaries, prompt structure, human review, automation stops, evaluation, and exit planning.

Frame the work

Choose one boring, repeatable task before choosing an AI tool

Find a narrow workflow with visible inputs and a reversible output before testing automation.

8 minute guide02

Protect the input

Set the data boundary before writing the prompt

Classify what may enter the workflow, what must be redacted, and what must stay out.

9 minute guide03

Shape the draft

Structure a prompt for a checkable output

Use context, task, constraints, format, and uncertainty instructions instead of a magic phrase.

7 minute guide04

Own the decision

Place the human checkpoint before money, people, access, or publication

Keep review where an output could affect a customer, employee, payment, account, promise, or public claim.

9 minute guide05

Contain the flow

Add stop conditions before connecting multiple AI steps

Define when the workflow pauses, rejects an input, or returns control to a person.

8 minute guide06

Measure the work

Evaluate and version the recipe with ordinary evidence

Compare the workflow against a small reference set instead of relying on one impressive output.

10 minute guide07

Keep the exit

Plan the vendor, data, and process exit before the workflow becomes normal

Know how the business will export instructions, remove access, preserve evidence, and return to manual work.
