How do I audit my own company against its own rules?
Write the rules down first, most cannot, then check your loudest AI work against them, in public.
Write your rules down first. Most companies cannot, and that is the first and largest gap, because a rule you have not written is a rule you cannot be held to.
Once they exist, take the work you are proudest of, the AI strategy you would show the board, and check it against them line by line. Where did you break your own standard? A rule you write down only means something if the gaps get closed, not just noted.
Do it in the open, gaps included. A case study that shows only the wins is exactly the premature coherence worth distrusting. The value of holding yourself to a written standard is that the gaps come out small and findable, instead of large and hidden. A company that never audits itself against its own rules does not have fewer gaps. It just has not looked.
See it done, on this publication itself: Built by Its Own Rules.
