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?
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.
Bring one decision. Pressure-test it. Leave knowing what to do next.
Intake
Your decision and relevant evidence.
What is actually on the table — and why does it matter now?
Frame
What are we actually deciding?
What decision or action will actually change if the recommendation is accepted?
Challenge
What we're relying on.
What evidence, assumptions, experience, or model output are carrying the recommendation — and what remains uncertain?
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?
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?
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 the Brief points beyond one bounded decision, here’s where it leads.

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.

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.

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.
