Where does my work end and the AI's begin?

You and your team generate fast now. Options appear before anyone asks a hard question. That speed feels like progress, but it also hides something: nobody can say anymore who decided what. When a client or a boss asks "did your team make this," you hesitate. That hesitation is the real problem, not the tool. Here is what you are avoiding. You want credit for the output without doing the work of tracking your own judgment. That is not laziness — it is just untested. Nobody taught you to log a decision the way you log code. So the work and the generation blur together in your memory, even though they never blurred in fact. Your team did not stop designing. You outsourced the first draft, not the choosing. Every asset that shipped passed through someone's rejection, correction, or approval. That is authorship. You only lost track of it because you never wrote it down.

The team already senses the right answer; what's missing is a habit of tracking and naming choices, so the page leans toward coaching practice over new concepts.
How the two dials adapt to you →
What’s really going on

The line is every choice you made after the machine produced something. You picked the prompt, rejected nine versions, fixed the tenth, decided it was good enough to ship. That chain of choices is your design. Stop hunting for a boundary. Start writing down the choices your team actually made.

🔒 What you’ll build togetherUnlock by starting
A moveAt your next team sync, each person names one generated output they rejected this week and why — out loud.
A moveKeep a shared decision log: one line per asset, naming who chose, who cut, who signed off.
A moveBefore shipping anything, run a 'whose choice was this' pass as a team — if no one can answer, that's your gap, not the AI's.
A moveSeparate your workflow into two visible stages: generation and curation. Label which stage you're in at every meeting.
A moveAssign one owner per asset, by name, even when ten people touched it. Ownership of judgment, not of pixels.
