"Reviewed by a human" finally means something.

Ask three managers what reviewing AI work involves and you'll get three different answers. THINK is the routine a reviewer runs before signing an AI-assisted decision — so the answer is the same across your whole firm.

The five moves

T — Tune In. Regulate before you prompt. A reviewer in reactive mode — rushed, defensive, impressed — rubber-stamps. The first move is noticing which one you are.

H — Hypothesize First. Define the real decision before reading the AI’s answer. If you meet the recommendation before you’ve framed the question, the recommendation frames it for you.

I — Interrogate Everything. Evaluate like a decision scientist: what would have to be true, what’s the strongest case for the option the AI did not choose, and which single condition would flip the call.

N — Narrow to the Call. Make the one defensible decision — and say out loud who owns it. Not “the committee approved it.” A name.

K — Know How to Land It. Deliver it with authority: hold the position under challenge, name the reasoning, and know in advance when you’d escalate instead.

Where it shows up

Every PAVNESS workshop teaches THINK inside the simulation, not as a slide. Your team runs it on a live decision under pressure — which is the only way a checklist becomes a habit. By the end of the room, the four questions that anchor it — what AI may do here, who owns the call, what reasoning stays visible, when to escalate — have been answered out loud, by your people, about their own work.

What it is not

THINK is not software, not a certification, and not a compliance artifact — we don’t issue seals and we don’t attest to anything. It is a working routine, and the way we prove it works is simple: run 30 seconds of the method yourself, free, before you talk to anyone.
