Evidence. Judgment. A useful next step.

The rollout passed. One copy still ran the old software.

We traced an AI-discovered security flaw, then built a lab to test the update process. Every health check passed while one of six copies still ran the old software.

Start with the work, set decision rules, then check readiness. These excerpts are from the full Playbook.

Start with the work.

Pick a task your team already does. Decide what should improve, how the work should change and which information you can trust.

Questions from page 6 · The Digital Operating System

Ask these first

  • Which business outcome is worth changing?
  • How should work move tomorrow?
  • Which inputs can the company trust?

Give AI clear limits.

Decide who checks the work, what AI may do and when someone must step in. Give it more freedom when those controls are ready.

Read the nine decision rules

Rules from page 11 · Decision rules

Three rules to keep close

  • Automate only after the process is understood.
  • AI autonomy rises only when control rises.
  • No owner means no transformation.

Scale what you can prove.

Name an owner, choose one measure and set a review date. At the review, decide whether to expand the pilot, change it or stop.

“Scale only what produced inspected before/after value.”

Why I publish AI Vanguard

I want this publication to help you make sound decisions about AI. In our lead investigation, we traced a security fix, built a six-copy lab and published the commands and results. You can inspect the evidence and judge the conclusions yourself.
