Evidence packet to retain
Apply this guide as a record of judgment, not as a disposable checklist. Keep the scope, current baseline, representative scenario, participating people, source materials, decision rights, observed exceptions, outcome measures, unresolved claims, and the date on which the conclusion must be reviewed again.
- Named practitioner and continuity: Named coach, bio, session-delivery policy, and handoff terms.
- Current applied AI practice: Dated examples, limitations, and a clear distinction between use and implementation claims.
- Coaching method and client agency: Contracting method, reflection and action cycle, client-owned artifacts, and exit criteria.
- Confidentiality and data handling: NDA terms, tool register, retention period, model-provider terms, and deletion process.
The final packet should distinguish what an official source establishes, what was observed during evaluation, what a provider or participant reported, what the reviewing team inferred, and what remains unknown. That separation is essential when the result will influence an executive, employee, customer, investor, or regulated decision.
Evaluation worksheet
| Question | Required record | Approval condition |
|---|---|---|
| What changes? | Current and proposed workflow | Boundary and owner are explicit |
| What supports the output? | Source, rights, lineage, quality, and version | Material inputs are traceable |
| Who decides? | Review, approval, exception, and escalation rights | A real person has time and authority |
| What would prove value? | Baseline, population, period, measure, and exclusions | Activity is not substituted for outcome |
| When do we stop? | Thresholds, incidents, change triggers, and fallback | Exit is practical and controlled |
Final approval gate
Approve only when the role-specific decision is clear, the evidence supports the conclusion at the claimed level, material unknowns remain visible, ownership conflicts are disclosed, and the implementation can be monitored and reversed. Reject a universal winner conclusion when the evidence supports only conditional fit.
