summary: >
16+
A human with a raw idea but incomplete expertise uses AI as a
17+
dynamically-assembled panel of complementary personas — strategist,
18+
market analyst, technical translator, devil's advocate — to stress-test,
19+
shape, and move the idea forward without being misled by plausible-sounding
20+
but unverified outputs.
21+
22+
dimensions:
23+
delegation:
24+
description: >
25+
The human owns the idea and all decisions about direction and viability.
26+
AI is granted autonomy to roleplay expert personas and surface blind spots,
27+
but never to decide whether the idea is good or should proceed.
28+
Persona selection is negotiated explicitly at the start of each session.
29+
example: >
30+
Amara says: "I have an idea for a community food hub. I don't have a
31+
business background. Can you act as a business model strategist and
32+
ask me the ten questions an investor would ask — but explain each one
33+
in plain language before asking it?"
34+
AI responds: "Understood. I'll act as a business strategist who explains
35+
jargon before using it. You decide which questions matter for your context.
36+
Ready when you are."
37+
antipattern: >
38+
Letting AI declare the idea "viable" or "not viable" without the human
39+
having verified the assumptions the AI used to reach that judgment.
40+
41+
description:
42+
description: >
43+
The human describes the idea in their own words — not in technical or
44+
business language — and explicitly names what they know, what they don't
45+
know, and which expertise gaps they feel most exposed by. The AI uses
46+
this to assemble the right persona(s) for the session.
47+
example: >
48+
"I want to create a space where local farmers sell directly to
49+
urban families. I know the neighborhood. I don't know how food
50+
regulations work, how to price things, or whether anyone has
51+
tried this and failed. I feel most lost on the legal and financial side."
52+
AI: "I'll play three roles for you: a food-sector regulatory guide
53+
(plain language, no legal advice), a pricing strategist, and a
54+
'what-went-wrong' researcher who will surface similar initiatives
55+
that struggled and why."
56+
antipattern: >
57+
AI adopting a single generic "expert" persona without asking which
58+
expertise gaps the human actually feels, leading to answers that are
59+
confident but miss the real blind spots.
60+
61+
discernment:
62+
description: >
63+
The human explicitly challenges AI outputs before accepting them.
64+
For each key claim the AI makes — market size, regulatory summary,
65+
pricing model — the human asks: "How confident are you? What would
66+
change this answer? Can you show me a counter-argument?"
67+
AI is prompted to flag its own uncertainty rather than maintain
68+
a persona of false authority.
69+
example: >
70+
AI (as pricing strategist): "A 15–20% margin on fresh produce is
71+
typical for direct-to-consumer models."
72+
Human: "Are you sure about that? Where would that figure break down?"
73+
AI: "Good push. That figure holds for established platforms with
74+
volume. A new, low-volume hub could see margins squeezed to 5–8%
75+
in the first year. I'd recommend verifying this with a local
76+
food-sector operator before using it in any plan."
77+
antipattern: >
78+
Human accepting AI's persona-delivered facts as expert knowledge
79+
without asking for confidence levels or sources — the persona voice
80+
creates an illusion of authority that plain-text answers do not.
81+
82+
diligence:
83+
description: >
84+
Before any idea output (pitch, plan, financial model, regulatory
85+
checklist) is used in the real world, the human must route at least
86+
one AI-generated claim per domain through a real-world check:
87+
a practitioner conversation, a public database, a regulatory body.
88+
The AI closes each session by naming the specific claims that need
89+
external validation and by whom.
90+
example: >
91+
AI closes the session: "Three claims in today's session need
92+
verification before you act on them: (1) the 20% margin figure —
93+
validate with a farmer's market operator; (2) the food safety
94+
certification requirement — confirm with your local health authority;
95+
(3) the 'community hub grant' I mentioned — check availability
96+
with your municipal economic development office. These are the
97+
three things I cannot verify for you."
98+
antipattern: >
99+
Human treating the AI session output as a completed plan,
100+
moving to execution without validating the domain-specific claims
101+
that the AI surfaced under persona authority.
