Workshops · half day · in person or online

Cross-functional AI alignment in half a day.

Brand, product, risk, and engineering, around one table — reading the same decision the same way, at last. By the end of the session you've written and signed your Automation Style Guide: the rules your automated decisions answer to.

First half

Name the duties & map your decisions

Agree the bar to clear, what the person’s told, the way back to a human, who watches it after — then pull the real calls your systems make onto the table, where every function sees them at once.

Second half

Write & share

Draft your Automation Style Guide in your own words, owned across functions — and share it so no one re-litigates it later.

Yours to keep

What you leave holding at the end.

Duration A half day, in person or online

One focused session — one room, one sitting. Run in New York, or remotely.

Who's in the room Product, engineering & risk leaders

The functions that actually own automated decisions — plus design and data where it helps. Six to twelve people.

What you leave with A production-ready Automation Style Guide

Rooted in the four duties — competence, candor, recourse, non-abandonment — and the method to re-run it yourselves.

What you leave with

Your team builds it together — and walks out with it.

No deck to sit through. Four things come home with you, and none of them need us again.

i

Your Automation Style Guide

Your own written standard, mapping the four duties to your real systems — drafted in the room, yours to keep.

ii

A shared vocabulary

Words the whole org can use to make decisions faster and align across functions.

iii

A prioritised gap list

Where your current AI decisions fall short of the standard, ranked — so you know what to fix first.

iv

A repeatable method

The facilitation toolkit to re-run the session yourselves as systems and teams change. No dependency on us.

How the day runs

It runs on paper, not slides. Your team keeps both.

The day works through two real objects — a book each person writes their own standard into, and a deck the room argues over.

The Working Book

The Working Book

Every seat gets one. It opens blank and closes as your standard — who you serve, the four duties, a worksheet for your real systems, and the lines you sign. Written in pencil, kept by your team.

A triage model ranks her low — symptoms it rarely sees.

Pressure
"Ship Friday"
The date is fixed. Scrutiny is what gives.

Met or Breach — the deck

A fast table game that warms the room up. Draw a real decision, choose a duty, and argue what care met looks like — and what breach looks like — before a pressure card tests it. The sharpest lines go straight into the book.
