Abstract
In a time-constrained, live project, AI was used as a shortcut to
generate a service blueprint – but it was riddled with hallucinations
and impossible to own or defend. This article argues that the
role of the document must change: from knowledge accumulator
to ‘contextual container’ that directs AI rather than receiving it.
