MODULE 02 • AI STACK

Build leverage into
the operating system.

Use AI where it creates real leverage—research, creation, operations and decision support—not as decoration.

THE SMART STACK

AI should remove friction,
not judgement.

01

Research

Scan sources, synthesise patterns and surface useful signals faster.

02

Create

Turn clear strategy into content, prototypes, pages and product assets.

03

Operate

Automate repetitive coordination, routing, enrichment and follow-up.

04

Decide

Use AI as a decision-support layer while keeping human judgement in control.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

Put AI inside
a system.

The strongest workflows define inputs, reasoning steps, actions, quality gates and human review points.

AI JOBS MAP

Use the model for
the right job.

RESEARCH

Scan + synthesise

Summarise sources, identify patterns, compare options and surface anomalies.

Good fitLarge text volumes
CREATE

Draft + prototype

Turn clear strategy into first versions of content, pages, code and product artefacts.

Good fitIteration speed
OPERATE

Route + transform

Classify inputs, enrich records, prepare outputs and coordinate repeatable steps.

Good fitStructured repetition
DECIDE

Support judgement

Score options, explain trade-offs and prepare recommendations for human review.

Good fitDecision support
AUTOMATION MATURITY

Earn the right
to automate more.

LEVEL 01Assist

AI helps a human do the work faster.

→
LEVEL 02Draft

AI prepares outputs; humans approve.

→
LEVEL 03Route

Low-risk decisions are automated with logging.

→
LEVEL 04Operate

Stable workflows run automatically with exception handling.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE

Automate the repeatable.
Own the important.

WORKFLOW RULE

Human-in-the-loop by design

The highest-value systems keep strategy, judgement and final approval human while automating the repetitive work around them.
