Start with a real business task
Choose a repeated task with a clear input and useful output. Document the current process before adding AI so the business can compare time, quality and risk.
- Begin with low risk internal work
- Define what a good result looks like
- Keep a human responsible for final approval
Protect business and customer information
Do not enter confidential, regulated or private information into a tool without understanding its terms, controls and data handling. Remove unnecessary identifying details.
- Classify sensitive information
- Limit access to approved tools
- Never paste passwords or financial credentials
Measure the result
Track time saved, errors, customer impact and actual business outcomes. A tool that creates more review work than value is not improving the process.
- Test with representative examples
- Compare against the existing process
- Review performance regularly
