Turn AI tool risk into simple rules.
This reusable AI workflow turns department AI confusion into a simple permission map: what can be used, what needs review, what is blocked, who decides, and what proof note must be recorded.
The simple idea
A Green / Yellow / Red permission map is easy for non-technical teams to understand and serious enough for managers to use.
Before vs. after
Before: everyone guesses
People use AI tools differently. Some paste notes, some paste support questions, some paste feedback, and no one knows what is safe or allowed.
Result: unclear risk, inconsistent practice, no proof of review.
After: permission map
The department has clear Green / Yellow / Red boundaries, task-level rules, escalation rules, and proof notes.
Result: simpler AI adoption with clearer boundaries.
The workflow in plain English
Tell the AI the department, tools, repeated tasks, data types, and current confusion.
Tell the AI not to certify compliance, guarantee safety, or approve sensitive data use.
Save the Green / Yellow / Red framework and escalation language.
The AI creates the data boundary, task-level permission map, escalation rules, manager announcement, team quick policy, and proof note.
The AI checks whether each task has a clear permission, blocked data list, human review rule, and owner.
The AI records what was created, what was claimed, what was avoided, and what needs internal review.

Reusable workflow output:
Department AI Permission Map: Department: Customer Success / Operations Simple rule: If the data would be risky in a public screenshot, do not paste it into a public AI tool. Green — generally allowed: - public product information - public website copy - anonymized examples - generic support questions - internal process descriptions with no private data - draft outlines and templates Use: Allowed for drafting, summarizing, brainstorming, and template creation. Human review: Still required before sending anything externally. Yellow — allowed only with care / review: - internal meeting notes - internal strategy notes - customer feedback summaries after removing names and identifiers - account notes with sensitive details removed - operational reports without private customer details Use: Allowed only after removing private details and marking uncertain items. Human review: Required before sharing, sending, or storing as official output. Red — do not paste: - passwords - API keys - credentials - payment information - private customer records - health, legal, financial, or employment-sensitive information - contracts or confidential legal documents - unreleased security issues - private screenshots - exact customer messages with names, emails, or account details Use: Not allowed in public AI tools. Task-by-task permission map: 1. Support FAQ replies Permission: Draft only. Allowed inputs: generic question, public policy, anonymized context. Not allowed: private customer records, payment issues, legal claims. Required check: human review before sending. 2. Meeting notes to action plan Permission: Internal draft. Allowed inputs: internal notes with sensitive details removed. Not allowed: private client data, confidential deals, HR issues. Required check: owner/deadline confirmation. 3. Product feedback summary Permission: Anonymized summary. Allowed inputs: summarized themes. Not allowed: customer names, emails, private screenshots, exact quotes without permission. Required check: privacy review before public use. 4. Monthly Proof Room report Permission: Internal report. Allowed inputs: workflow counts, issues, decisions, owner names if internal. Not allowed: private customer details or sensitive operational details in public version. Required check: manager review before sharing. Escalation rules: Escalate to the room owner if: - someone wants to use Red data - a workflow touches legal, financial, health, employment, security, or regulated data - an output may be sent externally - a customer complaint involves billing, legal, privacy, or safety concerns - the team is unsure which category applies Manager announcement: Subject: New AI use map for our department We are setting up a simple AI Permission Map for department workflows. The goal is to make repeated AI work easier to manage and safer to review. The map has three categories: Green: generally allowed Yellow: allowed with care and review Red: do not paste into public AI tools For now, AI outputs are drafts only. Human review is required before anything is sent externally. We will use the map inside our Proof Room Lite process and update it as we learn. Team quick policy: Before using AI, ask: 1. What task am I doing? 2. What data am I pasting? 3. Is the data Green, Yellow, or Red? 4. Who reviews the output? 5. What proof note should be recorded?
