Target Operating Design
The target design for the undertaking—objective, ownership, AI and human roles, systems, exceptions, outcomes, and completion conditions. A shared operating reference for business and technical owners.
A consequential process needs more than a capable model. The Governed AI Review produces a production design for one real undertaking: where AI should participate, which evidence counts, who can decide and act, and what establishes a successful outcome.
Four deliverables you can use independently—or carry into an Indwel implementation without starting the design again.
The target design for the undertaking—objective, ownership, AI and human roles, systems, exceptions, outcomes, and completion conditions. A shared operating reference for business and technical owners.
The current operating baseline, where the data supports it, and the measures AI should improve—volume, handling time, expert hours, rework, exceptions, cost of delay, service levels, or throughput.
The evidence the Work may rely on, the standards that govern it, who may decide, what AI and tools may do, and the requirements for approval, exceptions, observation, and completion.
Integrations, dependencies, deployment assumptions, organizational decisions, acceptance criteria, and implementation sequence.
The Work may be structured, judgment-heavy, exception-rich, long-running, or spread across people and systems.
We define the objective, accountable owner, scope, and conditions that constitute success.
We identify where inference creates leverage, what remains deterministic, and where human judgment still matters.
We identify the Evidence the Work may rely on and, separately, the policies and standards that govern how it is judged.
We make decision rights, escalation, approvals, permissions, and action boundaries explicit.
We define observable outcomes, exception handling, and the conditions that establish completion.
We identify dependencies, controls, acceptance criteria, value assumptions, and decisions that remain open.
Dependable Work also requires the right evidence, decision rights, action boundaries, exception handling, and completion conditions.
An accessible source may still be the wrong Evidence for this decision.
A valid recommendation may reach someone without authority to approve the action.
An API may report success while the intended business outcome never occurs.
The Review tests those gaps before the organization depends on them.We work with the people who own the outcome and understand the systems, policies, and operating constraints around it.
Representative cases, systems, controls, exceptions, pain points, and the operating baseline.
Where inference creates leverage, what remains human or deterministic, what evidence and authority are required, what may act, and what completion requires.
We test the target design with the responsible owners, resolve what can be resolved, record what remains open, and prepare the final outputs.
A business owner, representative cases or artifacts, and access to the people who understand the relevant systems, policies, risk, and operations.
We walk the final outputs together, confirm what has been established, and make remaining dependencies and open decisions explicit.
One process and four deliverables, with scope and inputs agreed before kickoff. No software purchase is required.
The operating design, evidence and control requirements, integration decisions, acceptance criteria, and success measures carry directly into implementation.
Start with one consequential undertaking. Leave knowing how it should operate, what value AI should create, what must remain under your control, and what happens next.
