Reusable decision kit
AI technology layer map
A one-page view of the experience, workflow, model, data, controls, human review, and provider dependencies.
What the completed kit should do
A reviewer can see what is being chosen and where each material responsibility sits.
Capture these facts in your approved system
- Business job, owner, people affected, accepted result, and fallback
- User experience and workflow or application layer
- Model service, connected data, and information transfers
- Identity, roles, administration, logging, retention, and records
- Human review, provider dependencies, support, and exit path
Use the structure in this order
- 01
Frame the business job and current path.
- 02
Draw the technology and information layers.
- 03
Assign ownership and evidence to each material boundary.
- 04
Mark unknowns, pilot constraints, escalation needs, and exit steps.
Close the evidence loop
Someone outside the purchase conversation can explain the architecture, information path, owner, fallback, and exit without relying on a product demo.
Keep sensitive material out of this site
- Do not include credentials, secret keys, private prompts, customer records, or regulated data.
- A diagram is not a security, privacy, architecture, or compliance assessment.
- Recheck the map after changes to plans, connectors, models, permissions, or provider terms.
