Problems we recognise.
An index for recognising the need, not a menu of solutions. The starting point is the operating limit and the evidence required to trust a change.
When critical knowledge is scattered
Documents, systems and people hold different pieces of the truth. The problem is not “getting a chatbot”; it is finding and verifying what matters without losing the source.
- Signal
- Answers require manual research and depend on a few people.
- Criterion
- Every answer carries provenance, context and confidence.

- Signal
- Data exists but does not change action.
- Criterion
- The system improves the timing or quality of a decision without removing necessary control.

- Signal
- The model works in a presentation but not in the process.
- Criterion
- Tests, fallbacks, an owner and an operating model exist.
A recurring exception is enough to begin.
