How We Design Safe AI Workflows for Professional Services
Automate the preparation. Keep the professional decision.
The core principle
AI can handle repetitive preparation work — drafting, summarising, formatting — but the professional judgement and sign-off must remain with a qualified person. That boundary is not optional in regulated or client-facing work.
Design principles
- Controlled data intake — only approved, in-scope documents enter the workflow
- Source documents stay in approved environments
- Explicit human approval gates before outputs leave the workflow
- All AI output treated as a first draft, not a finished product
- Audit trails on every step
- Exception handling for edge cases the AI cannot resolve
Getting started
Start with a pilot on a low-risk, well-defined process. Measure error rates and correction time, not just speed. Tell your insurer before deploying AI in client-facing work.
