THE PROPOSED WORKING EXPERIENCE
Bring the evidence together.
Keep the next step reviewable.
Align measures and grain; trace differences; record disputed definitions and owners.
A reconciled metric definition and reporting-variance packet.
This is a design scenario. It does not claim an implementation, measured benefit, or released integration.
Data, AI, and
the decision boundary.
Data foundation
Approved SIS/LMS inputs, program dimensions, period definitions, exclusions, and report logic. Preserve source references, relevant versions, ownership, and the agreed access scope.
AI and workflow role
Align measures and grain; trace differences; record disputed definitions and owners.
Human review
Admissions, grading, eligibility, accommodations, and learner interventions remain with authorized institutional personnel.
How to evaluate this scenario
Definition consistency, period alignment, and business-owner acceptance.
Compare the assisted task with the current process using the same representative cases. Include missing records, conflicting context, access restrictions, stale sources, and unavailable tools.
Exceptions to keep visible
- Information that is missing or not current
- Unresolved source or entity relationships
- Unsupported interpretations or proposed actions
- Reviewer corrections and outstanding approval
A scoped next step
Agree one task, a permitted evidence sample, an accountable owner, and the result that would be useful to review.
