## Important boundaries
- The recommendation follows the business requirement, not a preferred vendor.
- Artificial intelligence may interpret requests, but deterministic systems and authorized people control consequential actions.
- Existing systems and operating knowledge are preserved when they remain useful.
- Access is scoped to the approved purpose, and implementation is tested before controlled release.
- Unknown or unsupported facts are stated as unknown rather than invented.
- Business improvement examples explain the operating problem, information used, working approach, and decision supported. Named client results appear only when explicitly verified and published.
- The public chatbot cannot access accounts, change customer records, authorize routes, or perform client work.
