Use this guide to structure a decision. Verify current product, policy, and operating details before acting.
Classify the data
Identify sensitive, regulated, customer, and internal information before connecting any tool. Use the narrowest data access that supports the intended workflow.
Make quality observable
Define examples, acceptance checks, and a human review point for consequential outputs. Save evidence of failures as well as successes.
Assign operating ownership
Someone must own permissions, model or plan changes, workflow updates, incident response, and retirement. Adoption without ownership becomes hidden operational risk.
Leave with an actionable checklist
Output: A risk register with owners, controls, stop conditions, and the next review date.
