AI Tool Intake Kit
Say yes to AI, fast — and defend every yes.
A new AI tool doesn't wait for your approval — by the time it reaches your desk, it's already in the pull requests. This kit turns the six-question framework into a five-minute intake: score a tool, get a defensible verdict, and log it in a register a board or an auditor can read. For CIOs, architects and IT leads who have to move fast on AI without driving blind.
The auto-scoring Scorecard — rate a tool 0–3, get a verdict you can defend.
What’s inside
Five artefacts. One decision, defensible.
Auto-scoring Scorecard
Six weighted questions, two critical gates, an automatic verdict — Adopt, Adopt with controls, Hold, or Reject. It does the maths; you make the call.
Intake Register
The board- and auditor-ready log. One row per AI tool you let in — or turned away. The artefact that turns "we move fast on AI" into "we know exactly what it touches."
Decision Memo
One page that captures the defensible "yes": what it touches, the data terms, the gate, the exit, and the controls the decision is conditional on.
Worked Example
An AI coding assistant with repo access, scored end to end — so you can see the judgement behind each number, not just the template.
Vendor Question Bank (Playbook PDF)
The contract-grade questions to send a vendor, grouped by dimension — so you get the data answers in writing, not in a demo.
