Learning objectives

After this lesson, you can

Explain what ai cannot decide.
Classify sample decisions by impact and define the owner, manager, or qualified professional who must review them.

Why it matters

AI must not independently make employment, pay, discipline, safety, legal, medical, financial, or account-termination decisions.

Practice in Pinsot

Classify sample decisions by impact and define the owner, manager, or qualified professional who must review them.

Review before moving on

Confirm the visible record matches the salon's source information, permissions, and approved process. Ask an owner or authorized manager to review any material uncertainty.

Practical workflow

Work through a reviewed example

1
Open the correct authorized salon and location, then identify the source record or approved salon rule for the task.
2
Classify sample decisions by impact and define the owner, manager, or qualified professional who must review them.
3
Compare the visible result with the source information and record a neutral reason for any authorized exception.
4
Stop and ask an owner or authorized manager to review material uncertainty before it affects a client, technician, payment, or account.

Common mistakes

Working in the wrong salon, location, date, client, or technician context.
Treating a status, estimate, recommendation, or report as final without checking the source record.
Using shared credentials, entering unnecessary sensitive data, or making an override without an authorized reason.

Recommended operating practices

Use individual accounts and the narrowest role and location access needed for the work.
Keep client requests, salon policy, observable facts, and software suggestions visibly distinct.
Review important records while the context is fresh and escalate financial, employment, privacy, security, safety, or legal uncertainty to the responsible person.

Review summary

What to remember

AI must not independently make employment, pay, discipline, safety, legal, medical, financial, or account-termination decisions. The safe operating standard is to use Pinsot as a reviewable system of record and assistance while keeping accountable salon decisions with authorized people.
