Choose a constrained, valuable task
Start with a decision or workflow where value, error cost, users, and the human role can be stated clearly.
Define evidence before the prototype
Agree quality, safety, latency, adoption, and business measures before comparing approaches.
Build governance into the architecture
Treat data access, privacy, prompt and model controls, logging, evaluation, and escalation as product features.
Operate, evaluate, and improve
Assign service ownership, monitor real use, review failures, manage change, and retire what does not create value.
