Working model
AI-enabled, judgment-led.
I use AI selectively for research, synthesis, scenario analysis, structured decision support and rapid prototyping. Outputs are reviewed, and sensitive work follows the tools and data boundaries agreed with the client.
Interpretation, recommendations, stakeholder work and client-facing judgment remain my responsibility.
