Inventory what actually comes from AI
Separate citations, summaries, calculations, proposed assumptions and recommendations. A fluent answer is not evidence.
Complete sources, access dates and locators allow the responsible person to verify material claims.
Assign a status to every decision-critical element
A simple register prevents verified facts, working assumptions and interpretations from being merged.
| Type | Minimum control | Permitted use |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Access, date and locator | Support a bounded fact |
| Fact | Cross-check and definition | Enter the comparison |
| Assumption | Owner and range | Test a scenario |
| Interpretation | Reasoning and limits | Prepare debate |
| Recommendation | Explicit options and criteria | Submit to human arbitration |
Organise review before the committee
Atlas retains elements attached to the file and their versions. Plot organises analyses, scenarios and workflows within its scope. This page does not claim that every AI output is automatically ingested or verified.
Useful contradictions remain visible so leadership knows what is established and what requires judgement.
Produce an auditable decision note
The note records the question, options, evidence, critical assumptions, disagreements and outstanding checks, including who validated what.
- Source register
- Facts and assumptions matrix
- Reproducible calculations
- Contradictions and limits
- Attributed human validation
Workspaces relevant to this question
Each workspace answers a specific question and contributes to the same decision file. Combined information remains sourced and checked before the trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI validate its own sources?
No. It may help find or summarise them; people verify the source and its scope.
Does this prohibit AI analysis?
No. It defines the conditions that make AI output usable in a demanding decision.
How is this different from preparing an executive committee?
AI governance qualifies evidence before the decision. The committee page then organises options, disagreements and expected trade-offs.
