AI Policy.

What this is

AI is a useful tool for parts of our work. It's not the work. This page sets out where we use it and where we don't.

Where we use AI

We use AI as a drafting and research aid. Documents, articles, and analyses produced for this site, and for client work, may be drafted with AI assistance, the same way any modern operator uses spreadsheets, search, and analytics. Every piece is edited and signed off by a human, and the substance is the operator's, not the model's.

Where we don't use AI

We don't pass off AI-generated content as a person's lived experience. The named outcomes, the integration claim, the seats Troy has held, and the businesses worked with are real, specific, and verifiable. The voice of the site is a real operator's voice, even when AI helped draft a paragraph.

Client data

We never put confidential client data into public AI tools. The Connector Layer and any AI used in engagements run on private, client-isolated configurations.

Disclosure

If you spot something that reads like it crossed the line, tell us. troy@ascendea.co. We'd rather hear it.
