One use of data. Clear responsibilities for every team.

Business teams need data, technology teams connect it, and reviewers need a basis for decisions. Start with purpose, scope and responsibility.

Real working needs

One question. Different responsibilities.

Start with what each team needs to understand, contribute or review.

01

Business teams and management

AI or analytics will use customer, employee or operational information, but the permitted scope is unclear.

Questions to answer

  • What is the proposed purpose?
  • Are authorization and responsibility clear?
  • Who reviews a change in scope?

A useful outcome

Clear use conditions, open review questions and responsibility records to support a decision about proceeding.

02

Data, technology and AI teams

A new application needs files, knowledge bases and systems. Existing access rights may not cover the new use.

Questions to answer

  • Which information is sensitive, important or restricted?
  • Which fields may an agent request?
  • How are expiry, withdrawal and use records handled?

A useful outcome

Defined data and connection boundaries, with scoped validation of controls and records in the agreed environment.

03

Legal, compliance and security teams

Data has been found, but the conditions for a proposed use are unclear.

Questions to answer

  • Who uses it, for what purpose and recipient?
  • What scope, location, expiry and withdrawal terms apply?
  • Which decisions need professional review?

A useful outcome

Explainable facts and use records that support review while preserving professional responsibility.

04

Law, audit and consulting organizations

A client has policies but struggles to explain the facts behind actual data use.

Questions to answer

  • Are the project facts clear enough?
  • Which records support this decision?
  • Which gaps need confirmation by the client?

A useful outcome

Facts and evidence within agreed scope. Conclusions remain with the responsible professional firm.
