  2. 02

    Use the chapter signals—Talk Saturates First; The Crowd at the Entrance; Visible Winners Distort the Clock; The Hype Cycle Is Not the Technology; The Difference Between Demonstration and Deployment; The Empty Rooms Are Specific; Why the First Inning Is Not Over; The Psychology of Feeling Late; What Signal Looks Like; The Giants Are Not the Whole Story; Historical Time Moves Slowly at First; The Practical Test; The Best Possible News—to identify where the current workflow loses time, quality or learning.

  3. 03

    Define the trigger, input, AI-assisted step, human decision, measurable output and stop condition.

  4. 04

    Run the workflow once with a real case; record the failure before expanding scope.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

A bounded workflow card with one owner, one metric, one review gate and one documented failure response.
