The language model never produces a figure, a forecast or a risk score — it routes, frames and narrates what a deterministic component computed. v 1.0 · owner Data & AI Global Practice · date 2026-09

The rule

  • The language model never produces a figure, a forecast or a risk score. It classifies the question, frames the scenario and narrates what a deterministic component computed
  • This is the single decision that most affects executive trust, and it is also the largest cost control: routing sends most questions down a path with one small-model call rather than a reasoning-model chain
  • Where a cell is empty, that component is not consulted. The emptiness is the design

Why it matters commercially

  • A wrong narrative is embarrassing; a wrong number is a resignation. Separating them means the platform's failure modes are recoverable
  • Deterministic paths are cacheable, testable against expected values, and explainable without reference to a model version

Risks

  • The boundary blurs under pressure. "Just let the model estimate it when the measure is missing" is the change request that will arrive in month three, and the answer must be no — the measure gets built, or the platform abstains
