A working system is more than a model connected to company data. Each implementation needs an agreed scope, deliberate access, reviewable outputs, and a person who owns the decision.
Controls follow the work as it moves through the system. The exact checks and approval points are set with the team that will use it.

Selected folders, records, or systems
02ReviewEvidence attached
Source links and exceptions surfaced
03ApproveNamed owner
A person checks before action
What we agree together
Practical controls, scoped to the workflow.
These are design questions for the engagement, not a universal checklist or a promise that every system has the same safeguards.
A defined deployment boundary
Scoping identifies where the workflow runs, what it can reach, and which systems remain outside the build. The design follows the client’s environment and operating requirements; the boundary is written down before implementation.
Access kept to the work
Source access is limited to the agreed material and roles needed for the workflow. We confirm who can grant access, how credentials are handled, and how access is removed at handover or when the engagement ends.
Outputs a person can check
Where a workflow uses source material, outputs can be designed to point back to it and show unresolved exceptions. A designated reviewer remains responsible for checking material outputs and approving consequential actions.
Ownership and handover agreed up front
The engagement defines who owns the deployed system, its operating accounts, and its ongoing maintenance. Handover covers the agreed code, configuration, documentation, and the practical steps to run or change the workflow.
The deployment boundary
What a build does, and what it does not claim.
Data location, model providers, retention, logging, and operational responsibilities depend on the tools and hosting chosen for a project. We identify those choices during scoping and document the agreed setup for handover.
Controls are not a substitute for your organization’s security review, legal advice, or risk process. A project-specific implementation does not itself establish auditability or provide a compliance certification.
