Your move
Name what happens if AI is wrong
The cost of an error determines how much review the work needs.
Start with consequence and reversibility. A private draft that can be discarded is different from a message, payment, deletion, eligibility decision, or safety instruction that reaches someone else.
Do this now
Three moves, in order.
- Describe the specific error the AI could make.
- Name who or what would be affected and whether the action can be reversed.
- Choose the review owner and whether the AI may draft, recommend, or act.

Give AI the bounded job
Prompt from your artifact—not from vibes.
Classify this AI job from the consequences I provide. Do not infer that low frequency means low impact. Recommend draft, recommend, or act only within my named reversibility and review constraints.
Before you use it
The work leaves your hands only when:
- The error and affected party are concrete.
- Irreversible or high-consequence work has a human gate.
- The allowed role is narrower than the available capability when risk requires it.
