Constraint
Bad workflow definitions turn into dashboard disputes later.
For Teams
Data & BI Teams need workflows clear enough for AI.
Data and BI teams need source workflows defined before they are asked to automate reporting, build dashboards, or add AI summaries.
Team Constraints
Workflow
Inputs, lineage, ownership, AI-ready definitions, and refresh rules need operational agreement.
Approval
Data quality decisions need owners before metrics become management truth.
Transfer
The team gets upstream workflow rules that make reporting and AI summaries easier to trust.

The person or team allowed to decide is named.
A decision-pack workflow with named inputs, AI-prep rules, open questions, and follow-up owners.
Team Rule
Ownership first.
Automation second.
The team does not need another abstraction. It needs one recurring workflow with owners, gates, handoffs, and AI boundaries made visible.
Start with one team workflow.
Bring the workflow your team keeps explaining, chasing, rebuilding, or trying to automate.
