Use Responsibly

Strong templates support judgment; they do not replace it.

Verify current platform requirements, replace example data, document assumptions and review every high-impact recommendation before changing a live website.

  • Use current first-party business and performance data whenever possible.
  • Separate observed facts, calculations, hypotheses and recommendations.
  • Assign an owner, deadline and acceptance test to implementation work.
  • Keep a record of source dates, changes made and measurable outcomes.
