Decision inputs
Facts that change the policy answer
For this request, the current policy and training audience is the input boundary and a plain-language training summary is the output boundary. A useful check makes both explicit.
- 1Task and owner
- Compliance trainer wants to summarise a company policy for training. The request needs an accountable owner for a plain-language training summary, even when the tool prepares most of the first draft.
- 2Information involved
- The current policy and training audience. Look beyond pasted text: files, integrations and retrieval connections can expose the same material.
- 3Tool and account
- An approved company account. Treat a new plug-in or connector as a change to the approved setup.
- 4Intended result
- The expected result is a plain-language training summary. The policy needs to know what happens after generation, including publication, communication and automated use.
- 5Consequence if it is wrong
- Simplification can remove an exception or change mandatory language. Use this consequence to distinguish a routine request from one needing specialist approval.
- 6Human review
- policy owner should inspect, change, reject or stop the result. The reviewer needs the source material and must be able to reject the output before it takes effect.
Possible policy routes
The task name alone cannot decide it.
A published workplace policy can return different answers for the same task. These are the practical branches worth encoding.
A routine policy route may be possible
The company can consider a standard route where the exact account is approved, only the minimum internal policy information is used, a plain-language training summary remains within the stated purpose, and policy owner reviews it before use.
Approval may be required
Pause the ordinary route whenever the account or data handling is uncertain, simplification can remove an exception or change mandatory language, or a plain-language training summary reaches people or systems beyond the requester’s authority.
The request may need to stop or change
The policy may require another method where restricted information would enter an unapproved service, the output would act before policy owner can intervene, or link the summary to the current policy and retain important conditions cannot be maintained. Consider less information, a controlled account or a non-AI process.

Questions people ask
About this AI use
Is using AI to summarise a company policy for training automatically allowed?
Permission depends on the facts submitted for this request. A different tool, information class, region or use of a plain-language training summary can produce another route.
What does the policy need to know about this use?
Describe a plain-language training summary, identify the current policy and training audience, name the exact tool and account, explain who will receive or rely on the output, and state how policy owner will review it.
How should a later reviewer understand this decision?
Preserve who accepted a plain-language training summary, when they did so and which rule version they applied. A classification and controlled reference may be enough when copying the current policy and training audience would create unnecessary risk.
