TRUST Check
proper noun
The book’s five-part review before consequential AI-generated work leaves your desk: True, Relevant, Understandable, Safe, Take ownership.
Also known as True, Relevant, Understandable, Safe, Take ownership
The TRUST Check is the five-part review for AI-generated work that is about to leave your desk. True: could you stand behind every fact if challenged? Relevant: does it answer the question asked? Understandable: can the recipient act on it? Safe: are the risks ones you are prepared to own? Take ownership: is your name, implicitly or explicitly, on this? The test is deliberately ordinary. It needs no governance committee, no new dashboard and no branded lanyard, only the person sending the work reading it as though consequences exist. If it fails one of the five, it is not ready.
