- Keep a deterministic "spine" that owns final decisions, accountability, and traceability, and treat GenAI as a sidecar that proposes or drafts but never makes binding choices.
- If an action creates legal obligations, liabilities, or regulated communications, the spine must execute it; tasks that involve reading, summarizing, drafting, or routing can live in the sidecar under supervision.
- Make evaluation continuous: use pre-deployment tests, shadow mode, production monitoring for drift and errors, and strict change control with versioning and rollback to keep the system safe.
