Keep the useful AI habits. Remove the weird fragility.
The goal is not a panic ban. It is visibility, review, and a keep / fix / stop model that survives contact with real work.
Best next step AI Amnesty Review
Field Notes should feel like operating commentary and working diagnosis, not “content marketing” pretending to be authority.
Use the archive to build language match and credibility, then route people into Diagnostics, offers, or the shared application.
