THE FUNCTION-DELEGATION KIT  —  copy one per function
From "The One-Person AI Business — Intermediate", Chapters 3–7
================================================================

Handing off a function is not "ask the AI and hope." It's defining a few things
ONCE, in writing. Get them right and delegation is safe; skip one and it bites.
This is the template you reuse for EVERY function — demand, sales, delivery,
support. Print one per function.

FUNCTION:  ______________________________   Date started: __________


1 · THE INPUTS  (what AI needs in front of it)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  The operating brain, plus the raw material for THIS instance.
  Vague inputs make vague output — half of "the AI did it wrong" is really
  "I gave it the wrong things to work from."
  ______________________________________________________________


2 · THE OUTPUT  (exactly what "done" looks like)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Format, length, what it MUST contain, what it must NOT. Specific enough that
  two runs produce the same KIND of thing.
  ______________________________________________________________


3 · THE ACCEPTANCE LINE  (5–8 pass/fail checks, in your words)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Your decision rules, turned into fast yes/no checks. Each one, if it fails,
  means the work does NOT go.
  [ ] ___________________________________________________________
  [ ] ___________________________________________________________
  [ ] ___________________________________________________________
  [ ] ___________________________________________________________
  [ ] ___________________________________________________________

  ⚠️ It must be checkable in MINUTES, or you haven't delegated — you've just
  moved the work. If checking takes as long as making, the line is too vague or
  too long. Tighten until a check is genuinely faster than a redo.


4 · THE CONTROL POINT  (where you stand in the flow)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Start as the GATE — you check every output before it goes. Earn your way off
  it by EVIDENCE, never assumption:
    Evidence bar to move a class to autonomous:  ______ clean in a row
    After the bar: the ______________ class runs on its own; exceptions escalate.


5 · WHAT THE AI MAY NOT DECIDE  (the bright line)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  At least one decision stays yours, named explicitly. However good the AI gets,
  it does not cross this without you.
  This function's bright line: __________________________________

  Common bright lines by function:
    DEMAND   — no unchecked facts, no naming competitors, no public promises.
    SALES    — no discounts, no off-menu prices, no promises, no exceptions;
               may STATE the published policy, not act on it.
    DELIVERY — never ship below the definition-of-done; never move the date.
    SUPPORT  — may CHECK and PREPARE a refund up to your ceiling; a HUMAN
               approves and releases it. No credits, extensions, or exceptions.

  ⚠️ THE MONEY RULE (whole business): AI may CHECK a refund against your rule and
  prepare it; a HUMAN approves AND executes every actual movement of money. AI
  never approves or moves money itself.


THE FORCING COMMITMENT  (dated — the win made concrete)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  "On ______ (date), the ______ function ran on the system — AI produced, I
   checked against a written acceptance line, and the work went out.
   Time to check: ______ minutes (vs ______ minutes to make it by hand)."
