Implementation in six steps

Define the decision and user

State which person, decision or task this work supports. Record the consequence of an incorrect output and name the accountable owner.

Prepare permitted evidence

Define permitted tools, prohibited data, review duties, transparency expectations and incident reporting in role-specific language. Add a source, scope and review date to used information; separate assumptions from confirmed facts.

Run a bounded pilot

Start with low-risk, reversible examples. Include normal, ambiguous, missing-data and exception cases in the pilot.

Place human review

Define explicit approval points for material claims, external messages, personal data, prices, publishing, payments or difficult-to-reverse changes.

Keep a working record

Create a versioned acceptable-use policy after the pilot. Retain the instructions, evidence, decision, corrections and owner in a traceable record.

Measure and reassess

Track policy comprehension and exception reporting as the primary measure. Confirm that faster or greater output does not hide lower quality, higher correction burden or new risk.

Worked example

In a worked pilot, the team selects five representative tasks and two exception cases. Each case uses the same evidence pack, receives human review and records corrections. The team completes a versioned acceptable-use policy. It proceeds to wider use only when policy comprehension and exception reporting and the agreed quality and risk guardrails are met.

Working output

Primary measure

Policy comprehension and exception reporting

Measurement, quality and risk

Signals to track together

  • policy comprehension and exception reporting
  • Human correction time and number of changes
  • Exception-routing accuracy
  • Source and decision traceability
  • User or customer impact

Risks to monitor

  • Plausible but incorrect output without source or context
  • Use of personal, confidential or contractual data without permission
  • Hidden uncertainty or exceptions inside an automated decision
  • Higher human correction burden despite faster generation
  • Missed differences in region, sector or version
