01
What does the model do?
A model can interpret unstructured information, propose an answer, classify an event or prepare a bounded change. Its role should be named precisely for each workflow.

How does governed AI software development work?
Governed AI software development wraps model reasoning in explicit technical controls. The system limits the context and actions available to the model, records evidence, validates deterministic constraints and routes consequential decisions to authorised people. AI contributes judgement or generation without becoming an unrestricted authority.
02
What remains deterministic?
Identity, permissions, hard business rules, calculations, state transitions and release gates belong in software that produces predictable outcomes.
03
How is the output trusted?
Trust comes from evidence and verification rather than confidence language. Depending on the risk, validation can include schema checks, tests, independent review and human approval.
