Data location
We write down what stays on the device, what is synchronized, and which service receives anything that leaves it.
Trust boundaries
Before an AI workflow ships, we answer four practical questions: where the data goes, what the model is allowed to do, what happens when the normal path fails, and who owns the system after launch.
Four questions we answer
We write down what stays on the device, what is synchronized, and which service receives anything that leaves it.
A model may suggest, classify, retrieve, or prepare a handoff. Sending a customer message, changing a record, or making a high-risk decision needs a separate rule.
When the device is offline, the model is unavailable, or confidence is low, the workflow must queue, stop, ask, or hand the decision back to a person.
Someone owns the approved sources, monitoring, corrections, model changes, incidents, and export or deletion requests after launch.
The runtime loop
A phone, Mac, browser, field device, or existing business system provides the input.
The task is routed to the device, edge worker, private network, or connected model that fits it.
The user sees the result, source, confidence, proposed change, or next action before a consequential step.
The accepted result is stored, synchronized, or exported through an explicit product or business boundary.
Every product has different limits
PlantCare, Safari Go, VoiceAgenda, Farmbit, and WolfeWriter use different device capabilities, data flows, and limits. Each page says what the product does, what it does not do, and where support or human judgment is still required.
For a production system
We document the data flow, permissions, fallback path, and ownership before build work begins.
