Use-case boundaries
Define the proposed generation task and the situations where it should not be used.
Generative AI Consulting
Find where generation belongs in the experience.
Evaluate a generative AI idea through the content it would create, the context it needs, and the review it requires.
Your users. Your requirements. A practical next step.
01START WITH THE NEED
A clear starting point for Generative AI Consulting.
Begin with the task and the people behind it. Evaluate a generative AI idea through the content it would create, the context it needs, and the review it requires. The useful next step is to make the requirements, alternatives, and acceptance examples specific enough to discuss.
- Content-assistance planning
- Product concept reviews
- Generative workflow decisions
02DEFINE THE RIGHT SCOPE
Built around
what matters.
These are useful starting points for a scope discussion, not a fixed package of deliverables.
Context & control
Examine source material, instructions, permissions, and human review requirements.
Pilot definition
Identify representative examples and criteria for deciding whether a bounded pilot is useful.
03MAKE THE IDEA TANGIBLE
See the interface.
Explore the details.
Interface examples that show the service in context. Mockups use sample content; portfolio images are identified.
