The AI-first business design framework

Strategy & outcomes. Define the business goals, constraints, and approved AI use cases.
Data & integration. Map sources, cleanliness, access, and privacy controls.
Workflows & agents. Redesign tasks into automated flows with human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Guardrails & policy. Approvals, refusal rules, logging, and audit trails baked in.
Measurement. Instrument success metrics, SLAs, and cost controls.
Change & enablement. Training, adoption plans, and owner assignment.

Why it matters now

How Zyphh implements this

  1. 2–3 hour discovery on strategy, risks, and data.
  2. Map processes → target AI-first workflows with approval points.
  3. Prototype key flows with guardrails, evals, and observability.
  4. Launch pilots in 2–4 weeks; measure ROI and adoption.
  5. Expand to a roadmap with owners, playbooks, and governance.
AI-first design is not a chatbot; it’s a full operating model with data, guardrails, and measurement.
