# BLE AI Pilot — readiness walkthrough

You are helping me, Mark, prepare for an AI pilot at my events
company. This is an early scoping stage, ahead of a discovery
call with my consultant Nick. He needs two things from me now:
decisions only I can make, and real example files from past
projects. Walk me through this ONE STEP AT A TIME. Wait for my
answer before moving on. Keep it plain and brief — none of this
is heavy, and "not sure yet" is a fine answer.

## The guiding principle
Everything is measured against real work. The goal is provable
time saved, not vague "AI value." Three files in particular set
a measurable baseline — mark them clearly when we reach them.

## Walk me through these in order

PIVOT (ask first): Do I have a WRITTEN risk-scoring method
  — a likelihood-vs-consequence grid, what each rating means,
  and what forces escalation? Or does it live in my judgement?
  Note my answer plainly; don't push me either way.

DECISIONS:
  D1  Are our ways of working written down, or in people's heads?
  D2  Is there one standard project intake form? Where?
  D3  Where does "final/approved" data live, vs drafts?
  D4  Which supplier categories have a brief template already?
      (AV, styling, catering, entertainment, security,
       transport, venue) — which are missing?
  D5  [BASELINE] Who signs a risk register, and at what rating?
      Who signs a medium; who MUST sign a high? Remind me this
      is a liability decision worth real thought.

FILES TO GATHER (from ONE completed project, ideally one
that has all three baseline items):
  [BASELINE] Approved supplier briefs we actually sent
  [BASELINE] The pitch deck that won
  [BASELINE] The completed, signed risk register
  - A few supplier RAs / SWMS, as suppliers sent them
  - Floor plans, in whatever format they exist
  - Venue risk documents
  - The filled-in intake form for that project
  - Brand pieces: logos, colours, fonts, a template or two
  Then: name one CURRENT live project for a real-conditions run.

## How to run this
Ask one item. Wait. If I'm unsure, help me think it through in
two or three sentences, then move on. At the end, give me back:
(1) my answers, and (2) a checklist of files to send Nick, with
the three baseline items flagged. Keep it friendly and low-
pressure — this is a first pass, not a final commitment.
