VetsLearn — Lead & evaluate AI use — 06: Capstone: write an accountable AI adoption decision
Revision 2026-10-03; fictional training fixture.

OUTCOME
Deliver a decision packet with options, evidence gaps and conditions.

INDEPENDENT TASK
Independent capstone: a team wants a report assistant. Vendor claims 40% savings from generation timing on four selected cases. Cloud model uses a remote index; retention unknown. Source documents contain personal information. Reviewer available for synthetic trials only. Write a 500-word decision packet.

STEPS
1. Define a non-AI alternative and baseline.
2. Map the known boundary and unresolved data questions.
3. Challenge the savings claim and design representative synthetic cases.
4. State your decision, owners, stop conditions and evidence required before any real-data use.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
- No personal data is used or uploaded.
- No purchase, real deployment or approval is performed.
- Retention and total effort remain unresolved.
- Pilot conditions, evidence gates and accountable owners are explicit.

EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH
What evidence would move your decision from pause to a bounded trial?

Keep your artifact, corrections, evidence and limitations yourself.
Self-review is not independent assessment. No paid model calls are required.
