AI Decision Readiness Brief

One live decision. One bounded challenge. A clear next move.

Bring one live AI-influenced decision and the people responsible for it. We pressure-test what you are relying on, what has to be true, what remains uncertain, and who owns the call.

Relied on

Is the recommendation ready to be relied on for this decision?

Acted On

Can the team act on it with clear authority?

Defended

Could the decision be defended six months later?

The system can recommend. But are you ready to own the decision?

What this is — and what it isn’t

In one facilitated session, a small group of the people responsible for one live AI-influenced decision — typically two to three, occasionally four — pressure-test what the recommendation is relying on, what has to be true, what remains uncertain, and who owns the call. The Field Guide helps you see what you have not made explicit. The Brief helps you determine what that means for this decision and what should happen next. You leave with a clear basis for what to do next.

Not a platform demo

We are not selling software.

Not an AI governance audit

We are not auditing an AI system — we are testing decisions it influences.

Not a workshop

We are not facilitating opinions. We are testing one live decision.

Not paid discovery

The Brief stands on its own. If no further work is needed, we say so.

How the Brief works

Bring one decision. Pressure-test it. Leave knowing what to do next.

01

Intake

Your decision and relevant evidence.

What is actually on the table — and why does it matter now?

02

Frame

What are we actually deciding?

What decision or action will actually change if the recommendation is accepted?

03

Challenge

What we're relying on.

What evidence, assumptions, experience, or model output are carrying the recommendation — and what remains uncertain?

04

Clarify

Conditions, uncertainty, and authority.

What has to be true for this to be usable here — and who can actually say yes, no, or not yet?

05

Agree the next move

Proceed, proceed with conditions, seek more evidence, defer, or stop.

Given what we now know, what are we prepared to do — and under what conditions?

06

Written brief

What was decided, and the agreed next step.

What needs to be clear when this decision is acted on — or revisited later?

If a broader issue emerges

If the Brief points beyond one bounded decision, here’s where it leads.

For AI-enabled vendors

AI Buyer Trust Sprint

Your demo won the engineer. It hasn't won the room that controls the budget, the liability, and the signature. We identify the oversight that procurement, risk, and legal will ask for — and that your champion needs to answer so executives can say yes.

For leadership teams

Material AI Decision Review

The issue is no longer one decision — it's a whole class of decisions shaping one material business objective, and different functions can't agree on what's happening or who owns the call. We examine the objective directly, across the people, evidence, and economics involved, before the next major commitment.

What you leave with

A clear basis for what to do next — whatever that turns out to be.

The Brief makes the decision explicit: what you are relying on, what has to hold, what remains uncertain, where judgment is required, and who owns the call.

Proceed

Proceed with conditions

Obtain additional evidence

Clarify roles, authority, or decision rights

Defer

Stop or reconsider

Start with one recommendation

Bring the decision you are working through. We’ll use 20 minutes to establish whether the Brief is the right next move.

The Brief is a focused advisory review under NDA. Fit is confirmed on the call, before anything is invoiced or booked.
