The rule and the commitment

paulducey.com/lean/course

DateThe pilot: one team, one job, one skillName

Part 1. Who is accountable. Every output has a named reviewer, and the reviewer is told what to check and given the time to do it.

Rule owner
Tool owner (holds the accounts, has read the retention terms)
Skills-library owner (the registry)
Accountable reviewer, what they check, how long they get

Part 2. The one-page rule, in my words. Keep each line short enough for a new hire to read the page in 90 seconds.

Approved tools; what is never pasted; who checks every output; "say so when AI helped"; no AI alone on hiring, promotion, discipline or pay; no ranking of individuals and what data we analyze; report errors, no blame; review date and stop rule:

Part 3. The freed-time commitment. Write each line, then cross out any you could not keep and write what you can promise instead.

What freed time is for · what I can and cannot promise about jobs and hours · how hours freed and their use will be logged and shown · checking AI's work counts as work · how gains are shared:

Part 4. Stop criteria and reviews.
