M.I.A.I

USING M.I.A.I

Get a better result from the first conversation.

Practical guidance for describing an application, answering Builder questions and preparing your business for a useful M.I.A.I app.

01 · START WITH THE OUTCOME

Write the request in your own words

Explain what should work better, who will use it and what a successful result looks like. You do not need to prescribe the technology.

  • Describe the current problem
  • Name the people or team affected
  • State the result you want
02 · CLARIFY

Answer the decision—not the software jargon

M.I.A.I asks one focused question where the answer changes the application. Choose what the business needs and add detail only when it matters.

  • Confirm systems and users
  • Set boundaries and approvals
  • Say when you are unsure
03 · CHOOSE

Use an existing app or create a new one

Start with the M.I.A.I application catalogue when a focused tool already fits. Use the Builder when your process or outcome is different.

  • Compare the stated outcomes
  • Check required connections
  • Discuss access before enabling use
04 · PREPARE

Know what information may be used

Identify the approved sources, accounts and business data the application needs. Keep live writes and sensitive access out until they are explicitly agreed.

  • List approved data sources
  • Confirm who can review results
  • Separate previews from live actions
05 · REVIEW

Check the result against the request

Review whether the application solves the original problem, respects the agreed boundaries and gives users the expected outcome.

  • Test the important user journey
  • Review evidence and exceptions
  • Approve release separately
