The Five Judgement Calls.

Five questions to work through before you rely on anything AI gives you. Use them on any piece of work you're accountable for.

01

What are you actually trying to achieve?

Clarify the real problem, the outcome and what good looks like.

02

What role should AI play?

Decide what you want AI to do - and what you do not want to hand over.

03

Have you set AI up to do the work well?

Choose the right tool, context, prompt and standard.

04

What could go wrong?

Identify the risks, limitations and weak points that matter here.

05

Are you prepared to stand behind the result?

Check, challenge and decide what must change before you use it.

AI supports your thinking. It doesn’t replace your judgement.
