Trigger
Deployment brief
Example output from the ADA method.
Workflow
Proposal compliance review
Trigger
A proposal draft is ready before client delivery.
Inputs
Proposal draft, approved claims, pricing rules, scope template, contract notes, and delivery constraints.
AI action
Check for unsupported claims, missing sections, pricing conflicts, and scope-risk language.
Owner
Sales or delivery owner approves changes before the proposal is sent.
Output
Review packet with flags, suggested edits, and send/block recommendation.
Metric
Corrections caught before send, review time, and client revision requests.
Why this matters
A brief turns an AI idea into a build-ready target before the build starts. It forces the business to name the revenue or capacity number this is supposed to move, what starts the workflow, what evidence it reads, who owns the output, and how the win gets confirmed.
What the brief excludes
It does not choose every tool or solve every edge case. It creates enough clarity to build the smallest useful version safely.
How ADA uses it
ADA uses the brief as the handoff between strategy and implementation. If the brief cannot be completed, the workflow is still in discovery.
Quality Bar
Use these checks before calling the workflow ready.
The brief is specific enough for a builder to scope the first version.
The business owner can read it and understand what will change.
The brief includes stop rules, not only happy-path instructions.
The review step is visible and owned.
The metric is practical enough to review after the first month.
Where This Helps
Use it before build decisions get expensive.
Proposal review
Lead scoring
Reporting briefs
Customer escalation summaries
Onboarding checklists
Research Basis
Built against practical AI risk and quality standards.

FAQ
What is a deployment brief?
It is the short operating document that defines what an AI workflow is allowed to do and how the result will be reviewed and measured.
When should it be written?
Before tool selection or build work starts.
Who owns it?
The workflow owner should own it, with input from whoever understands the source evidence, risk, and output quality.
