Field Note 001

AI workflow design is not prompt engineering

Prompting matters, but it is not the operating model. Useful AI work starts by allocating responsibility between humans, deterministic tools, and AI support.

Planned notes

  • Verification is the product.
  • AI should compress uncertainty, not hide it.
  • The analyst’s job changes from producing slides to designing decision workflows.
