- Which one workflow are we inspecting, what outcome does it exist to produce, and which role owns that outcome?
- What repeatable responsibility moved, and what evidence shows that another qualified person or system can restart, run, and check it without the original owner?
- Which condition reads weakest on the evidence, what rival explanation remains open, and what next artifact would raise our confidence?
- For the AI deployment: what may it not do, who notices a wrong output, who can change it, and where do exceptions go?
- What verified harm, illegality, safety risk, or protected-worker impact would stop the work before optimization continues?
- Which decision or handoff changed, what evidence now moves with the work, and who has the authority to act on it?
- What credible next responsibility did the person receive, with what authority, learning, support, and credit?
- Do these systems create opportunity after transfer while keeping Blank Collar instruments out of individual decisions?
- Could the leadership role run through a planned absence, with direction, context, permissions, challenge, and accountability intact?
- On what date will we review the evidence and decide to continue, revise, or stop?
One workflow. One evidenced constraint. One next artifact. One authorized owner. One date.
Evidence states: Works. Wobbles. Zero. No reading. The AI question alone may also return No deployment. A probe is not assurance.
Workflow economics: baseline outcome, full run and transition cost, error or risk measure, review date, and the decision to continue, revise, or stop.
