Public beta Task-first decision support

Use AI when it fits. Know when it does not.

Understand the task, choose the right approach, set safe boundaries, and verify the result.

Built for founders, operators, marketers, agencies, and teams that need useful AI guidance without a dedicated AI governance function.

Public beta. The content, methodology, and tool behavior are owner-reviewed. Independent domain review and moderated target-user validation are not complete. See the current review status.

Decision pathFive checks before any AI tool is chosen
  1. TaskWhat is the work, and what happens if it is wrong?
  2. FitShould AI be used, or would ordinary software do?
  3. PatternPrompt, context, retrieval, tools, or agent?
  4. BoundsWhich data is safe, and how much autonomy?
  5. VerifyWhat evidence proves the output is acceptable?

OutcomeA suggested approach with its controls and review needs, or a clear reason to keep the task human-only.

The decision layer

Six questions before choosing an AI tool

  1. Should AI be used?

    Start with task suitability, consequences, and verifiability.

  2. Would ordinary software work?

    Prefer deterministic rules when they solve the problem reliably.

  3. What pattern fits?

    Choose prompts, context, retrieval, tools, or bounded agents by need.

  4. What data is safe?

    Classify information before placing it in any AI environment.

  5. How much autonomy?

    Limit decisions and actions according to risk and reversibility.

  6. What proves success?

    Define evidence, acceptance criteria, review, and stop conditions.

Scope and limits

Educational decision support, not certification

Use AI Clearly explains trade-offs and produces structured, deterministic guidance. It does not approve a deployment, replace qualified review, or decide high-impact matters about people.
