What’s inside (one page, zero fluff)

  • Purpose & Risk Boundary — Define the problem, metrics, and stop‑rules.
  • Accountability & Governance — One owner, safety/QA sign‑offs, and a training dividend.
  • Data & Privacy — Minimization, consent updates, PHI/PII protection, retention.
  • Model & Prompt Controls — Retrieval grounding, citations, test harness, injection defenses.
  • Change Control & Monitoring — Versioning, shadow/A‑B, rollback, drift & alert metrics.
  • Human Oversight & Workflow — Two‑person checks, exception queues, non‑delegable decisions.
  • Documentation & Auditability — Logs, evidence packs, disclosure language.
  • Training & Apprenticeship — Sim cases, graded autonomy, protected learning time.
  • Procurement & Contracts — Data rights, security/audit clauses, quality SLAs, exit plan.
  • Incident Response — Kill switch drills, severity matrix, blameless postmortems.

Who this is for

  • Law firms & in‑house counsel deploying AI for research, drafting, review, or intake.

How to use the checklist (in under 90 minutes)

  1. Huddle (15 min): Name the accountable owner, scope the use case, agree on success/failure metrics.
  2. Mark the boundaries (15 min): Circle forbidden uses and non‑delegable decisions.
  3. Controls sprint (30 min): Fill the blanks for logs, test harness, monitoring, rollback, and on‑call.
  4. Human‑in‑the‑loop (15 min): Define two‑person checks and an exception queue with SLAs.
  5. Publish & post (10 min): Print it; add the owner’s name and review cadence; schedule a 30‑day retro.

Why we’re giving this away

We believe better AI isn’t only smarter models—it’s better workflows. If this single page helps one firm avoid a sanctions order or one clinic avoid a preventable incident, it’s worth it. Share it, fork it, and make it yours.
