You need one decision, one trusted data pipeline, and a repeating report an owner will actually use. - [VC narrative for deeptech](https://mccm.sk/wiki/vc-narrative-for-deeptech/): A deeptech fundraising narrative ties a hard technical insight to a buyer with budget, shows proof beyond slides, and states milestones that match runway. - [Vendor questions for AI tools](https://mccm.sk/wiki/vendor-questions-for-ai-tools/): Ask where data is processed, whether prompts are used for training, how long logs are kept, and how you export or delete them. If a vendor cannot answer those four points in writing, do not put live company data into the tool. - [Human review gate for AI outputs](https://mccm.sk/wiki/human-review-gate-for-ai-outputs/): A human review gate is a named person and checklist that must approve AI output before it leaves the team. Without it, speed rises and trust falls. - [Redacting personal data before prompts](https://mccm.sk/wiki/redacting-personal-data-before-prompts/): Redact names, IDs, and secrets before prompts so the model never sees what your policy forbids. If you cannot redact, do not run the workflow on live data. - [Measuring hours returned from AI](https://mccm.sk/wiki/measuring-hours-returned-from-ai/): Hours returned is the honest time the team gets back after review, not the time the model spends generating text. Baseline one cycle, then compare. - [When not to use generative AI](https://mccm.sk/wiki/when-not-to-use-generative-ai/): Skip generative AI when the cost of a wrong answer is immediate legal, safety, or irreversible customer harm and you have no reviewer. Use rules or humans instead. - [AI for customer support drafts](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-for-customer-support-drafts/): Use AI to draft support replies from a template and knowledge snippets, then require an agent review before send. Measure time-to-reviewed-reply and reopen rate. - [AI from meeting notes to actions](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-for-meeting-notes-to-actions/): Turn meeting notes into owners and due dates with a fixed prompt workflow, then confirm actions with attendees. The KPI is actions captured without a second meeting. - [AI for inbox triage](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-for-inbox-triage/): Route inbound mail or tickets to the right queue with AI suggestions and a human confirm step. Watch misroute rate as closely as speed. - [Building an approved AI tools list](https://mccm.sk/wiki/building-an-approved-ai-tools-list/): An approved tools list names what staff may use for work data, for public text only, and what is banned. Update it when vendors change terms. - [Prompt templates teams reuse](https://mccm.sk/wiki/prompt-templates-teams-reuse/): Reusable prompt templates lock inputs, tone, and output shape so quality does not depend on who remembered the clever wording. Version them like process docs. - [Owner not committee for AI pilots](https://mccm.sk/wiki/owner-not-committee-for-ai-pilots/): AI pilots need one process owner who can change the workflow. Committees can advise. They cannot run a six-week go/no-go. - [Go/no-go after six weeks](https://mccm.sk/wiki/go-no-go-after-six-weeks/): At six to ten weeks, keep the pilot only if the primary KPI moved and the owner wants the workflow. Otherwise redesign. Do not expand a fuzzy demo. - [Baseline before you automate](https://mccm.sk/wiki/baseline-before-you-automate/): Measure the current time, volume, or error rate on one real cycle before you automate. Without a baseline, every pilot looks like a success story. - [Shadow process risk after AI](https://mccm.sk/wiki/shadow-process-risk-after-ai/): A shadow process is the old spreadsheet or inbox path that continues beside the AI workflow. If it persists, your KPI is fake. Kill the shadow path or admit the pilot failed. - [AI and finance packs for SMEs](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-and-finance-packs-for-smes/): Finance packs can use AI for draft commentary after numbers are frozen from systems of record. Never let the model invent totals. Review before leadership sees it. - [AI for HR admin without leaking data](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-for-hr-admin-without-leaking-data/): HR admin AI stays on redacted or synthetic examples unless the tool is contracted for personal data. Policies and contracts beat clever prompts. - [Documenting AI assumptions](https://mccm.sk/wiki/documenting-ai-assumptions/): Write the assumptions behind a workflow: data sources, definitions, and what the model is not allowed to decide. Reviewers need that list more than another screenshot. - [Handoff from training to production](https://mccm.sk/wiki/handoff-from-training-to-production/): Training sticks only when the class ends with a live workflow owner, a prompt template in use, and a review date. Otherwise you bought entertainment. - [Scoring use cases in an AI audit](https://mccm.sk/wiki/scoring-use-cases-in-an-ai-audit/): Score use cases on value, effort, data readiness, and risk. The highest score with an owner becomes the pilot. The audit is a ranking tool, not a brainstorm wall. - [Cheap vs risky AI experiments](https://mccm.sk/wiki/cheap-vs-risky-ai-experiments/): Cheap experiments use public or synthetic data and internal drafts. Risky experiments touch customers, money, or personal data without a review gate. Separate the budgets. - [What leadership should ask in an AI demo](https://mccm.sk/wiki/what-leadership-should-ask-in-an-ai-demo/): Leadership should ask who owns the workflow, what KPI moves in six weeks, and where data goes. If the demo cannot answer, it is theater. - [Internal vs customer-facing AI outputs](https://mccm.sk/wiki/internal-vs-customer-facing-ai-outputs/): Internal drafts can tolerate more error with review. Customer-facing text needs stricter gates, tone rules, and often a smaller scope. - [Versioning prompt workflows](https://mccm.sk/wiki/versioning-prompt-workflows/): Version prompt workflows like SOPs: date, owner, change note. When quality drops, you need to know which version ran. - [When to hire vs pilot with partners](https://mccm.sk/wiki/when-to-hire-vs-pilot-with-partners/): Hire when the capability is core and recurring. Pilot with a partner when you need speed, a template, and a clear go/no-go without a permanent headcount bet yet. - [Fundraising data room basics](https://mccm.sk/wiki/fundraising-data-room-basics/): A fundraising data room matches the pitch: metrics, contracts, IP, and use of funds. If the deck and the room disagree, diligence stops. - [Pitch metrics investors distrust](https://mccm.sk/wiki/pitch-metrics-investors-distrust/): Investors distrust vanity metrics, unsourced TAM, and precision on science timelines you cannot defend. Prefer fewer numbers you can audit. - [Grant vs equity storytelling](https://mccm.sk/wiki/grant-vs-equity-storytelling/): Grant stories emphasize public benefit and milestones. Equity stories emphasize buyers, margins, and ownership. Label which audience you are speaking to. - [Naming the buyer in deeptech pitches](https://mccm.sk/wiki/naming-the-buyer-in-deeptech-pitches/): Name the budget holder and the job they pay for today. Deeptech without a buyer is a lab update, not a venture narrative. - [Runway, milestones, and product claims](https://mccm.sk/wiki/runway-milestones-and-product-claims/): Tie runway to milestones you can show, and keep product claims inside what the milestone proves. AI adjectives do not extend runway. - [Decision-ready outputs, not more dashboards](https://mccm.sk/wiki/decision-ready-outputs-not-more-dashboards/): Decision-ready means an owner can act after one review. More dashboards without a decision cadence are inventory, not insight. ## Wave 3 review samples (also in EN wiki) - [CRM hygiene prompts that stick](https://mccm.sk/wiki/crm-hygiene-prompts-that-stick/): CRM hygiene prompts stick when they update one required field at a time, cite the source note or email, and require a human confirm before write-back. Broad “clean the CRM” chats create confident fiction. - [Rollback plan for AI workflows](https://mccm.sk/wiki/rollback-plan-for-ai-workflows/): A rollback plan for an AI workflow names who can stop it, what the last known-good prompt or process version is, and how work continues without the model within one business day. If you cannot answer those three, you are not ready for production. - [Board pack narrative layer](https://mccm.sk/wiki/board-pack-narrative-layer/): The narrative layer of a board pack explains what changed, why it matters, and what decision you need. AI may draft that prose only after numbers are frozen from systems of record and a human owns every claim. - [Helpdesk side-car AI patterns](https://mccm.sk/wiki/helpdesk-side-car-ai-patterns/): A helpdesk side-car keeps the ticket system as system of record and uses AI beside it for drafts, summaries, and routing suggestions that an agent must accept. Replacing the ticket database with a chat log is not a pattern. It is an outage waiting to happen. - [System of record vs AI scratchpad](https://mccm.sk/wiki/system-of-record-vs-ai-scratchpad/): A system of record is where the company stores official state with permissions and history. An AI scratchpad is where people explore drafts. Mixing them creates decisions nobody can audit and data nobody can delete cleanly. - [Vendor invoice triage with AI](https://mccm.sk/wiki/vendor-invoice-triage-with-ai/): Vendor invoice triage with AI should classify exceptions, draft questions to suppliers, and summarize mismatches after totals come from AP systems. The model must not invent amounts, VAT, or bank details. - [AI change log for operations](https://mccm.sk/wiki/ai-change-log-for-operations/): An AI change log for operations records who changed a prompt, template, or routing rule, when, and why. Without it you cannot explain a quality drop or roll back safely. - [Source of truth hierarchy](https://mccm.sk/wiki/source-of-truth-hierarchy/): A source of truth hierarchy ranks which system wins when CRM, ERP, files, and AI summaries disagree. Write the order once. Train people and prompts to follow it. Otherwise generative answers become a fourth competing source. - [Spreadsheet formula assist limits](https://mccm.sk/wiki/spreadsheet-formula-assist-limits/): AI spreadsheet formula assist is useful for drafting formulas and explaining errors on copies of data. It becomes dangerous when it edits production workbooks without checks or invents business logic you cannot explain. - [Glossary-first for domain prompts](https://mccm.sk/wiki/glossary-first-for-domain-prompts/): Glossary-first prompting feeds the model your approved definitions for key terms before it drafts. Teams that skip this argue about words after every output and call it a model problem. ## Glossary - [Glossary home](https://mccm.sk/glossary/): Definitions for AI, data, and consulting terms used on this site. -
