What's inside
- A copy-paste prompt and optional SKILL.md helper.
- Editable evidence notes and a CSV log for repeatable dummy-data tests.
- A fictional practice case that distinguishes a model refusal from a confirmed permission block.
- An answer key and second pass showing what changes when real evidence is supplied.
Turn the evidence into a useful decision
The helper organises the settings, documentation and test notes you supply. It keeps unknowns visible and puts an evidence reference beside each claim about access. It can't inspect your accounts or change a permission.
Try the fictional example first. A tool politely refuses a request, but nobody checks the permission log. The right result is a pending decision, with the missing evidence named. The second pass shows how the recommendation changes when the demo configuration and log are supplied.
This kit accompanies What have you given AI the keys to?. Print the separate one-page worksheet for the meeting with your access owner.

More to take
- One tool. One page. One decision.
Decide what access one connected AI tool needs, with evidence from its settings and a dummy-data test.
- Check a supplier bill against the agreement
Compare three supplier bills with the agreement, check the evidence and prepare a clear question about any difference.
- Supplier Bill Check: the practice kit
Try the bill check on fictional documents, then use the editable sheets to record your own supplier check.
