Today’s Oyster Shot:
Choose one AI workflow in your organization and ask:
What can this system currently do without asking anyone’s permission?
Then examine:
What can it access?
What can it change?
What can it spend?
What can it send?
What happens when it encounters an obstacle?
Who is accountable if it goes too far?
