Trust boundaries

Know where the work happens.

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.

Trust comes from decisions you can inspect.

01

Data location

We write down what stays on the device, what is synchronized, and which service receives anything that leaves it.

02

Model permissions

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.

03

Offline and fallback behavior

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.

04

Ownership after launch

Someone owns the approved sources, monitoring, corrections, model changes, incidents, and export or deletion requests after launch.

From input to accepted action.

  1. 1

    Capture

    A phone, Mac, browser, field device, or existing business system provides the input.

  2. 2

    Place

    The task is routed to the device, edge worker, private network, or connected model that fits it.

  3. 3

    Review

    The user sees the result, source, confidence, proposed change, or next action before a consequential step.

  4. 4

    Record

    The accepted result is stored, synchronized, or exported through an explicit product or business boundary.

Read the product page before you make a trust assumption.

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.

Write the boundary into the scope.

We document the data flow, permissions, fallback path, and ownership before build work begins.
