Teams over-focus on model selection and under-focus on process design.

When ownership is unclear, any model can create risk. When review checkpoints, approval paths, and audit logs are explicit, even fast-moving teams can deploy safely.

Treat AI outputs like draft work with confidence levels, not final truth.

The responsible question is not whether AI should be used. The responsible question is where it sits in the workflow, who reviews it, and what evidence is retained.
