Illustrative pattern · A private knowledge assistant
Challenge: staff spend time searching policies and reference documents. A responsible approach could index approved material, answer with links to its sources and decline when evidence is missing. People review consequential answers, and access follows the same permissions as the source documents.
- Measure time saved and answer quality before expanding
- Keep source documents and model access within an agreed boundary
- Provide a clear route to a person when confidence is low
Illustrative pattern · A simpler online purchase
Challenge: customers abandon a confusing purchase journey. A focused improvement could clarify the offer, remove unnecessary steps and use a payment provider's hosted checkout. Payment details stay with the payment provider; the shop receives only the result it needs to fulfil the order.
Illustrative pattern · A connected field device
Challenge: teams need to know whether a remote sensor is operating as expected. A carefully scoped system could use device-specific identity, protected data transfer, a signed update route and useful offline behaviour—so the dashboard is informative without making the device a weak link.
