AI VISTA / WORKBENCH

Do not just read the method. Leave with a sheet you can fill.

Eight blank templates for task framing, pilots, authority, citations, MCP intake, evaluation, recovery, and cost. No email required. Fill them with your own real cases.

HOW TO USE
  1. Pick the sheet that matches the decision in front of you.
  2. Fill it with one real case before writing a general policy.
  3. Ask a second person to decide pass, revise, or stop from the sheet alone.
