A safe educational checklist for deciding what an AI workflow is allowed to do before anyone automates a business task.

Infographic: The AI Task Intake Clarity Map

Six checks before automating a task

  1. Goal: Write the business task in plain language before choosing any model, agent, app, or automation tool.
  2. Inputs: List the data sources the workflow may read and exclude private, sensitive, or unapproved material.
  3. Decision rights: Mark what AI can suggest, what a human must approve, and what the system must never decide alone.
  4. Handoff: Define the owner, escalation path, fallback step, and expected response time for unclear cases.
  5. Evidence: Keep a short log of input category, action taken, reviewer, final status, and unresolved exceptions.
  6. Review: Recheck the workflow after real use and remove shortcuts that create risk, confusion, or customer friction.
