The rule that shapes every AI feature: reframe, never invent
Every prompt TransformRadar sends to a model carries the structured data that licenses every factual claim in the answer, and instructs the model to mention nothing outside that data. The output is validated against a schema before anyone sees it; raw model text is never rendered. A banned-phrase list catches the hedging and the filler. And every AI-produced artefact is a draft that a named person edits and approves — nothing is circulated automatically, and nothing is written to the record without an explicit confirmation.
The consequence is that the AI is exactly as good as the record. That is deliberate. A steering pack drafted from a live plan, a maintained governance log and a scored health assessment is worth reading. One drafted from a model’s general sense of how programmes go is not.
If the AI provider is slow or unavailable, each feature degrades to a deterministic summary or an empty state. A broken page is not an acceptable failure mode for a status report.
