AI Decision Triage · Preview

Your case stays in your browser until you unlock. The full tool continues from where you stopped — no re-typing.

What you get

One decision. One record. One classification.

The $29 unlock gives you the full screening flow, the downloadable record, and the interactive tool — yours to return to as many times as you need.

A classification in plain language

Your decision is classified as Permitted, Requires Review, or Prohibited — with the matrix that produced the result, so you can defend the reasoning.

II.

A fillable PDF record — yours to keep

Download it at the end. Save it, print it, archive it, attach it to a vendor review. The record is designed to stand up to scrutiny from a board, auditor, or regulator — and it's yours forever, even if you never return to the tool.

III.

The interactive HTML tool

Return whenever a new decision comes up. Your browser holds your progress. One-time payment — no subscription.

THE DECISION PROTOCOL INSTITUTE

DECISION RECORD

AI Decision Triage

A single real decision, screened and documented.

§1 · THE CASE

What is being decided

Shipping AI-generated product copy to 40K subscribers

§2 · SCREENING

Q1 — Restricted data · Q2 — Autonomous · Q3 — Not explainable

§3 · RED FLAGS

No flags activated

Method in 60 seconds

Six steps. No theory. No prior knowledge required.

The entire process is self-contained. Start with a decision you're actually facing — the tool does the structure for you.

Step 1

Define your case

Write what you are deciding, the AI involved, and who is accountable.

Step 2

Exclusion filter

Confirm your use case is not routine personal productivity.

Step 3

Three questions

Restricted data? Autonomous action? Not explainable? Yes or no.

Step 4

Four red flags

Black box, PII, jailbreak, or shadow use — any of these forces Prohibited.

Step 5

Your verdict

Permitted, Requires Review, or Prohibited — with the matrix that produced it.

Step 6

The record

Sign, date, and download. Keep it for when the question gets asked.

Who uses this

Anyone whose name could end up on the record.

Three archetypes cover most readers. If you recognize yourself in one of them, this tool was built for you.

Archetype 01

The Executive

You are approving AI use inside your organization and you want a defensible record before the board asks. This gives you a clean audit trail for one decision at a time, without hiring consultants or reading 80-page frameworks.

Archetype 02

The Advisor

You serve clients who ask about AI risk. You want a structured tool to run alongside a conversation — something you can walk a CMO through in a meeting and hand them a record at the end. Repeatable, referenceable, yours to return to.

†

Archetype 03

The Compliance Officer

Your team is piloting AI in three places and no one has documented any of it. You need a low-friction way to get the first records on file, without building your own framework from scratch. This is the bridge.

Questions

Five things people ask before unlocking.

How does this differ from the full AI Use & Control Framework?

The Starter Tool covers one decision. It gives you a classification and a record for a single AI use case, end to end. The full Framework ($247) covers the complete governance system — multiple decision types, vendor review, data classification, rollout guidance, 38 instruments.

Think of the Starter as the first concrete decision you document. If you end up needing the system around it, the Framework is the next step.

What happens immediately after I pay?

You're redirected to the full tool with your case already pre-filled — no re-typing. You pick up exactly where the preview left off and complete the remaining five steps.

At the end, you download your PDF record. That record is yours permanently — save it on your computer, archive it, share it internally. You can also bookmark the tool and return as many times as you need for future decisions.

Can I use it for more than one decision?

Yes. The HTML tool is yours to return to as often as you need. Each time you start a new triage, the previous record is replaced — the PDFs you've downloaded are your archive. One payment, unlimited sessions.

What data leaves my browser?

The tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you write is sent to our servers during use.

The only exception: when you click Unlock, your case definition travels through the checkout URL so your case can resume on a different device after purchase. If your case contains sensitive details, the tool asks you to acknowledge this before unlocking — so you can sanitize it first if needed.

What if I'm not satisfied?

14-day refund, no questions. Email contact@decisionprotocolinstitute.com with your purchase ID and you'll receive a full refund. The tool remains yours to keep if you want to try the other versions later.
