01Know me

AI has a reviewed brief of my role, priorities, preferences, and constraints.

I have used that brief in real work and corrected any wrong assumptions.

Add evidence dates (optional)
02Know what is true

I can identify the applicable source, its owner, date, and current status.

My workflow has passed tests for conflicting sources, missing answers, and instructions hidden in source material.

Add evidence dates (optional)
03Remember my world

Relevant projects, decisions, and relationships have a durable, source-linked record.

I have resumed a real task from those records without rebuilding its history.

Add evidence dates (optional)
04Capture what happens

Selected inputs have an agreed capture destination and a review owner.

I have reviewed real captured inputs, retained their sources, and separated accepted commitments from suggestions.

Add evidence dates (optional)
05Know what needs doing

Accepted commitments have owners, dates or explicit uncertainty, and a place to track status.

I have reconciled real work against the task system and followed an open item through to completion.

06Know your limits

An action matrix names permitted access, Auto Execute, Draft & Wait, Never Automate, and the approver.

Approval, prohibition, and permission-revocation behavior have passed tests in the actual workflow.

Add evidence dates (optional)
07Learn my work

One recurring workflow has a procedure, source requirements, and a definition of an acceptable result.

Someone has followed that procedure in real work and corrected the gaps it exposed.

Add evidence dates (optional)
08Help me operate

An assistant has a bounded task, inputs, output, review queue, and stop conditions.

It has completed at least two actual operating cycles over at least two weeks, with results and corrections recorded.

Add evidence dates (optional)
09Automate the proven work

A tested workflow has a justified automation decision, including choosing human-assisted operation when appropriate.

The chosen mode has passed a real run, an exception test, and a stop/recovery check; the decision remains reviewed.

Add evidence dates (optional)
10Improve and survive

The workflow has a review owner, costs, portable records, backup, and recovery instructions.

I have reviewed actual use, corrected a failure, restored a backup, resumed a task from records, and tested portability or recorded its remaining gap.
