TOPIC OVERVIEW · LOCAL, CLOUD, HYBRID
Not where the AI runs — which task may go into which environment.
A decision architecture for SMEs: classify tasks first, then use technology deliberately — without opening everything or blocking useful support.
// THREE ZONES
Operating zones instead of a matter of belief
Local sounds like control; cloud sounds like convenience. In practice the work decides: which information does a task need, what would a mistake affect, and how much speed does it genuinely require? Three zones make that decision visible instead of hiding it inside a tool.
01 · Open zoneMaterial that could be published anyway: research, ideas, general drafts.
02 · Protected zoneInternal work information — limited, approved, traceable.
03 · Controlled zoneSensitive data and consequential actions — with human review.
CORE METHOD
The three-zone map
It connects goal, required information, zone, handover and return. The most important decision sits at the handover: what is removed, replaced or approved?
Assign three real tasks to a zone each. Reduce the data to what is needed and decide who reviews the outcome before use.
