Principle 3: Confidentiality of information shared with AI

Data and numbers

Finding upsell patterns

Before

The full client spreadsheet, names and contract values included, pasted into a personal chatbot:

Find upsell opportunities.

After

In the work tool your organization approved:

Here’s an extract by segment: industry, company size, products bought and renewal month. Suggest upsell patterns for each segment.

Your part

Keep names and contract values out unless the tool and the task are cleared for them.

Why it works: Upsell patterns come from segments, so names and contract values add exposure without improving the analysis.

Principle 7: Verification proportionate to the stakes

Data and numbers

Comparing quotes

Before

What’s the total cost of the three quotes?

After

Extract the price, quantity and any extra charges from each of the three attached quotes into a table, with the page for each figure. Then total them and show the calculation.

Your part

Check every figure against its page and redo the total yourself. Look for charges hidden in the terms.

Why it works: The page references let you check the figures against each supplier’s quote. Adding them yourself gives you a separate check on the total.
