AI is being added to every workflow, every tool, every team. The conversations are all about adoption. Nobody's having the other conversation: when do you say no?Not because AI isn't useful, it is. But because using AI in the wrong places doesn't just produce bad outputs in those places. It erodes trust in every output you produce, including the ones where AI is actually helping.This is a practical decision framework for anyone who has to make the call: does this workflow get AI or not?My public Copilot prompt library was cited by Microsoft's CMO for AI at Work as "battle-tested in production environments." This framework holds itself to the same standard: the decision lines in it come from real rollouts, including the calls that went wrong.Inside: a 5-question pre-flight check that takes 10 minutes and catches 80% of deployment mistakes, a scoring matrix for any proposed use case, a red flags checklist with 12 observable signals, conversation scripts for three situations where you need to say no without becoming the anti-AI person in the room, a decision tree, and verdicts on 10 real use cases with full reasoning.Who it's for: IT operations, project managers, team leads, AI champions, and anyone who's been handed a mandate to "add AI" and has to figure out where it actually belongs.This is not anti-AI. It's what makes the AI you do use trustworthy.No filler. No chapters about "the AI revolution." One PDF. Get in, get clarity, move.What's Included ?- 5-Question Pre-Flight Check- Use-Case Scoring Matrix (with worked example)- Red Flags Checklist — 12 observable signals in 3 categories- "No AI" Conversation Scripts — 3 specific scenarios with exact language- Decision Tree (full workflow)- 10 Real Use Case Verdicts with reasoning- The AI Use Policy Clause (copy-pasteable)- The Week After Checklist — what to do once you've said noLicensed, not sold.
