Let it act without losing the wheel
Let it act without losing the wheel
The real worry about AI is not whether it is capable. It is whether it will do something behind your back. Approvals are how this one earns trust: it acts, and you stay in charge of everything that matters.
It proposes, you approve
On anything sensitive, it does not act. It proposes: here is what I want to do, and here are the exact tools I will run to do it. You approve or reject in one tap, from the dashboard or wherever it reached you.
What waits, and what runs
Client-facing work always waits: emails to clients, messages, anything that leaves your name. Internal legwork, drafting, summarizing, research, prep, runs on its own, because a draft cannot hurt you. You set where that line sits, and you can move it as trust builds.
Nothing leaves your name without you.
The audit trail
Every proposed action, every approval, every rejection lands in the log, so you always know what happened and who said yes. Team permissions control who can approve what; the audit trail keeps everyone honest.
Start tight, widen the lane
In week one, approve everything. By week three you will know exactly which approvals are rubber stamps, and you can let those run. That is the same arc as trusting a new hire, just faster. See the mechanics in tasks & approvals.
