Description
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, please send me a witch voice note.
The TopCat AI Signal Report 97
TOPCAT SMALL-BUSINESS SIGNAL
This is where I would put your attention today:
Stop thinking about AI tools. Start thinking about AI authority.
Your business doesn’t need 27 AI apps.
It needs clearly defined intelligence.
For every agent, establish:
MISSION What outcome does it own?
BOUNDARY What is explicitly outside its job?
ACCESS What information can it see?
AUTHORITY What can it actually change?
ESCALATION When must it ask a human?
AUDIT How do you know what happened?
EXIT How do you stop it?
That’s the architecture of a responsible AI workforce.
🎯 TODAY’S SIGNAL MOVE
Take one workflow in your business.
Not ten.
One.
Then finish this sentence:
“This AI is authorized to ________, but it is NOT authorized to ________.”
That second blank is the one most businesses forget.
That’s where control lives.
