Frame the operating decision
How often does this use case occur, and who feels the pain? What business decision becomes clearer or faster? Use the combined view to name the business outcome, source of truth, and owner who will decide whether to proceed.
Set the control boundary
Which sources must be available for the AI to be useful? Where must a person review, approve, edit, or override? State the risk to avoid, review or escalation route, and record needed to keep the workflow controlled.
Commit to the first move
What should this system never decide, say, or execute? Is this a build candidate, assessment candidate, later candidate, or reject? Record the smallest safe scope, baseline, owner, evidence, decision date, and next action.
Decision summary
Is this a build candidate, assessment candidate, later candidate, or reject? What is the smallest useful version that proves operational value? Summarize the proposed move, operating benefit, and the evidence that supports it.
Evidence and control
What information is needed before implementation can be scoped? State the source, review boundary, accountable owner, and condition that would require revision or pause. Keep the decision receipt with the workflow record.
Next review
Record the decision owner, evidence source, review date, and the explicit condition to scale, revise, defer, or stop. Confirm how the resulting decision will be communicated, implemented, and retained in the operating record.
01 / 03
Frame the decision
Name the real operating need before designing a solution.
Describe the AI-supported task in one operational sentence.
Name who uses the output and how often.
Name the decision, classification, response, handoff, or recommendation.
How to use it
Start with one real decision.
Complete the canvas with the workflow owner, then use the blank areas to expose missing context and controls.
