What AI Tests
in Your Rules

Ten questions for introducing AI, seen from the organization.

Report 30: the wound, in half a sentence

What this is about

AI makes producing cheap. Checking and taking responsibility have not become cheap to the same degree. When the volume of drafts, reports, and proposals rises, the work does not disappear. It moves to whoever signs last, without anyone having decided it should.

Most AI policies settle who is responsible. They rarely ask whether that person can carry the load where it lands, with the time, access, and authority actually available there. This white paper treats AI adoption as a test of an organization's rules: ten questions, each with a measure.

A set of rules holds only if it promises no more checking than people can deliver.

Ten questions AI asks of your rules

The ten questions as an overview, read from the bottom up: at the base, the foundation, whom the rules trust. Above it, Does it arrive, with Purpose. Above that, Does it hold, with Membership, Limits and Precedence, Deciding, Voice, Knowing and Checking, and Allocating; Deciding and Knowing and Checking are highlighted. At the top, What is still open, with Conflict and Amending and an empty field for your own question.

The questions

Grouped under three questions that come before any organizational analysis: Does what was intended arrive where the work is done? Does it hold there? And what is still open? Below, you can count them through for your own organization.

For each question, the white paper gives a case, guidance for the rollout, and a measure. It adds six anchors for every rollout, a roadmap for the first three and the first ninety days, and a dated section on the legal picture.

Who it is for

  • Owners and executives. Before an AI rollout is decided, or after it has started running without anyone deciding it.
  • Employee representatives. With the points where co-determination applies to AI, and a warning against measuring performance from system logs.
  • Compliance, boards, and oversight. With the question of whether a planned check actually takes place.

The legal section is dated October 1, 2026, including Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. Later changes are tracked on the law page for Volume One.
