Tune In
Notice the pressure before you prompt.
“Am I rushed, defensive or impressed by a confident answer?”
The PAVNESS THINK Protocol
Use AI without losing ownership of your thinking.
Five practical moves to prepare a recommendation you can explain, challenge and defend when it matters.
Five moves. One decision you own.
Use the questions before and during AI-assisted work—not only after the output looks finished.
Hypothesize First
Form your own view of the decision.
“Before I ask AI: what do I think, and why?”
Interrogate Everything
Check the material claim and the assumption carrying it.
“What would have to be true—and which source can verify it?”
Narrow to the Call
Choose the action and name the person who owns it.
“We are choosing ___ because ___, despite uncertainty about ___.”
Know How to Land It
Understand your reasoning well enough to explain your decision, respond to challenge, and recognise when to reconsider.
“If someone challenged this recommendation, could you explain why you chose it—and where your reasoning might be wrong?”
