Begin with the business question

A source-aware way to define the business task, approved information, review gate, owner, and handoff before choosing an AI tool.

The useful starting point is the operational question the team needs AI to support, rather than a broad ambition to adopt it. Treat that question as a decision to support, not as a reason to add another isolated page, tool, or workflow.

Make the mechanism visible

AFRIPA’s source-governed approach is to show a concise readiness brief that names inputs, source rules, acceptance conditions, and human responsibility. This gives a reader something practical to inspect and gives a team a clearer way to review what changes next.

A mechanism is not a performance promise. It describes how information, a task, a review step, and a handoff can be connected so the work remains legible to the people responsible for it.

Choose the next useful move

A practical next move is to choose one repeated task and list what must be true before an output can be used. Keep the observation, the source, and the owner visible before adding scale or complexity.

The guide is educational. It can help frame a responsible starting point, but it does not replace the contextual judgment needed for a specific business, technical, legal, or operational decision.
