Use rules for routine work and AI for interpretation, drafting, and analysis. Include an activity log, safe retries, pause controls, and an exception queue. Confirm services, permissions, and costs before activation. Respect data access and contact consent. Establish a baseline before activation and review the following four weeks. Do not count the same recovered visit twice. Show actuals, targets, estimates, and missing data separately.
