Six questions that make AI adoption small enough to work through.
AI tools are in use in more places than anyone can list, and teams decide about similar work in different ways. The Risk Spine gives every AI idea the same six questions, in the same order, so decisions can be compared, owned and shown, whether you are a 50-person firm or a large enterprise.
Look inside each question, and rate your own organisation.
Follow one invented use case, Wyreld Co.'s CatalogueAgent, through all six. Under each question, say how sure you are your organisation could answer it today. Nothing is stored or sent: it's a prompt for reflection, not an assessment.
Wyreld Co. and CatalogueAgent are synthetic. The examples claim no observed outcome.
