Construction decision rule
Use the least expensive, least privileged and least complex AI approach that can reliably improve the construction outcome. Increase intelligence, access or autonomy only when measured evidence shows the simpler approach is insufficient.
How to use this download
Work through the questions using one real construction workflow. Do not score the company in the abstract. The purpose is to identify the next practical decision, not to justify AI where it does not belong.
Practical questions construction owners ask.
What does the governance starter sheet define?
Approved and prohibited use cases, data classes, read versus write permissions, human approval points, external communication rules, financial and contractual limits, logging, evaluation thresholds, the incident owner, the kill or disable process and the review cadence.
When should these boundaries be set?
Before scale, so the rules are in place before AI handles more work.
Who handles AI incidents?
A named incident owner, supported by a defined kill or disable process.
