Data boundaries before model choice
An AI project should start with what data the solution actually needs, who can see it, where it is processed, and what the system must not access. Model choice comes after this. Aprex separates public content, internal documents, personal data, confidential information, and production data.
Access control and roles
When a solution is used by several people or departments, it should have clear roles. Some users may read, others may approve, and some actions should require extra control. This matters in AI agents, document flow, field operations, and integrations with business systems.
Logging and traceability
Production-near systems should show what happened, when it happened, and which system or user triggered the action. Logging matters for debugging, quality, internal control, and responsible automation.
Human responsibility
AI can suggest, summarize, and prepare work, but it should not hide responsibility. Where decisions affect customers, finance, safety, legal assessments, or operations, human review and approval must be clear.
