Split drafting work from deciding work

A useful way to introduce AI without causing chaos is to separate tasks into two clear buckets, drafting and deciding. I use this exact split in my own work, because naming which bucket a task lives in stops me from quietly letting a draft become a decision on its own. Drafting means AI produces a first pass, like a reply or a summary, that a person still reads and adjusts before it goes anywhere. Deciding means someone chooses an outcome, like approving a refund or picking a candidate, and that stays a human job for now no matter how good the tool seems. Teams get into trouble when these two buckets blur together and a draft quietly becomes a decision because nobody double-checked it. Naming the split clearly, even out loud in a meeting, keeps everyone honest about which kind of task they're handing over and which one still needs a person's judgment at the end.

Try this today: look at one task your team is considering handing to AI and decide together whether it belongs in the drafting bucket or the deciding bucket.
