What are the three critical components that must be defined when setting the *Performance* of an AI system?	The required tone, the boundaries (what it must never do), and how it handles uncertainty.
What is the primary purpose of "Creation Diligence" when planning automation?	To identify potential failure modes and implement safeguards for each.
What does "Deployment Diligence" require planning for?	The review process (e.g., reviewing every output vs. sampling) and criteria for reducing human oversight.
What is the purpose of "Transparency Diligence"?	To decide who needs to know AI is involved and what language should be used for disclosure.
What is the recommended approach for testing an automation system before deployment?	Iterative testing using 3–5 real-world examples from the business.
