These short resources are designed to help organisations build confidence in how they explain AI‑supported work — without over‑explaining, over‑promising, or creating unnecessary concern.
AI explanation starter
A short, plain‑English guide to help organisations prepare a clear and honest explanation of how AI or automation is used in their work.
The AI explanation starter helps teams:
- Identify where AI or automation supports work or decisions
- Describe boundaries around what systems do and do not decide
- Make human judgement and accountability visible
This resource is particularly useful for agencies, consultancies, and small teams looking for a simple way to communicate responsibly about AI use.

Using these resources
These materials are designed to:
- Support internal conversations
- Reduce uncertainty around explanation and accountability
- Provide a shared reference point before deeper governance work
Reviewing these resources often helps clarify whether a Light integrity scan or an AI explanation Check‑In would be useful.
If you would like to discuss how these patterns apply to your own organisation, you are welcome to get in touch.
