What this guide helps you map before shipping an AI feature

This is a flow-first pass for AI-assisted features where input, handoff, logging, and reuse can quietly become hard to explain once the product starts moving.

Input to output

Know where the flow starts, where it hands off, and where the response comes back.

Boundary to provider

Check what leaves your system, which vendor sees it, and what it is allowed to keep.

Logging and reuse

If logs, retries, or debug copies exist, they need a reason and an owner.

Stop the launch

If the team cannot explain the path clearly, someone should be able to pause it.
