A sound assessment begins by establishing who will receive or rely on the output, the consequences of an incorrect result, and whether the resulting action can be reversed. This initial impact analysis determines the level of scrutiny required. The assessor should then identify the data involved, especially personal, confidential, regulated, or otherwise sensitive information. Once the use case and its information exposure are understood, it can be compared meaningfully against organizational AI policies, legal requirements, and regulatory restrictions.

The next step is to decide whether the use case should proceed, be modified with safeguards, or be rejected. Documentation comes last because it records the completed assessment, decision, supporting evidence, restrictions, and rationale for auditability. Therefore, the correct order is 3,5,1,4,2.

This sequencing reflects the AI Fluency principles of Delegation and Diligence: humans determine whether and how AI should be used and remain responsible for the consequences. Anthropic also advises users to be thoughtful about highly sensitive personal and business information. Options A, C, and D place policy review or data classification before the use case’s audience and impact have been properly established. Anthropic AI Fluency
