Chapter 7 · Group 2: Redesign the Work

Decide what the AI must do — and where human judgment stays.

Choose the appropriate autonomy level, then build requirements across 12 categories including business, process, functional, AI behavior, data, integrations, security, human oversight, evaluation, and operations.

Choose the right autonomy level and build a complete requirements set. This tool applies the framework from Chapter 7 of The Enterprise AI Blueprint by W. Perry Underdown and returns a directional, structured read — not an audit finding.
