AI delivery pattern
What is an AI delivery pattern?
An AI delivery pattern describes how a capability reaches the workflow, such as a person-led assistant, an embedded feature, a controlled automation, a retrieval layer, or a custom application, and therefore what the business must operate and govern.
What the team should be able to see
- Choose the least complex pattern that can test the defined business job.
- Embedded, connected, automated, and custom patterns create different identity, data, testing, support, and exit obligations.
- Compare patterns against the same workflow and evidence standard before comparing products.
What this definition cannot establish
- No delivery pattern is automatically safer, cheaper, more accurate, or more suitable.
- Vendor labels do not reliably describe the permissions, integrations, data transfers, or actions in a specific configuration.
