From AI pilot to controlled production.
One workflow. One accountable owner. One measurable result.
Tier9AI is a founder-led AI delivery practice for mid-market B2B software and technology-enabled service companies. We help teams choose one valuable workflow, establish its operating baseline, and move it into secure, controlled production with explicit human authority and measurable outcomes.
| Artifact | The question it helps answer | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| AI Readiness Checklist | Is this workflow ready for a controlled AI pilot? | ai-readiness-checklist |
| AI Evaluation Harness | Does the workflow meet explicit quality, safety, and release thresholds? | ai-evaluation-harness |
| Controlled AI Workflow Reference | How should policy gates, approvals, evaluation, and audit logging fit together? | controlled-ai-workflow-reference |
Every artifact runs locally without a paid model API. The defaults are deliberately small enough to understand, adapt, and challenge.
- Start with a high-friction workflow, not a broad AI mandate.
- Name the business outcome, baseline, accountable owner, and stop condition.
- Keep irreversible or high-impact decisions under explicit human authority.
- Evaluate before release and fail closed when required evidence is missing.
- Record decisions and control outcomes without retaining unnecessary sensitive content.
- Measure operational value after launch—not demo quality before it.
- See the controlled-workflow demonstration
- Run the AI Workflow Value Diagnostic
