Instructions

Phase 1: Project Classification

1. MUST determine project category:

   Category	Description	Examples
   Productivity	Internal efficiency tools	Doc summarization, code review
   Operations	Process automation	Ticket triage, data extraction
   Customer	External-facing experiences	Chatbot, recommendations
   Clinical	Healthcare decisions	Care suggestions, prior auth

2. MUST assess initial risk tier:

   risk_assessment:
     factors:
       - phi_access: [none | read | write]
       - pii_access: [none | read | write]
       - decision_type: [advisory | augmented | automated]
       - user_type: [internal | external | provider]
       - error_impact: [low | medium | high | critical]
   
     tier_matrix:
       tier_1:  # Low Risk
         - phi: none, pii: none, decision: advisory
       tier_2:  # Medium Risk
         - phi: none, pii: read, decision: augmented
         - phi: read, pii: none, decision: advisory
       tier_3:  # High Risk
         - phi: read, decision: augmented
         - pii: write, user: external
       tier_4:  # Critical Risk
         - phi: write
         - decision: automated, impact: critical
   

Phase 2: Model Selection

1. MUST recommend model based on requirements:

   Model	Cost	Quality	Latency	Use Case
   gpt-3.5-turbo	$	Good	Fast	Simple tasks, high volume
   gpt-4	$$$	Excellent	Slower	Complex reasoning, accuracy critical
   gpt-4-turbo	$$	Excellent	Medium	Balance of quality and speed
   llama-3-70b	$$	Very Good	Medium	On-premise requirement
   claude-3-sonnet	$$	Excellent	Medium	Long context, analysis

2. MUST document model selection rationale:

   model_selection:
     primary: gpt-4-turbo
     rationale: |
       - Requires high accuracy for [use case]
       - Latency requirement allows for GPT-4 tier
       - Complex reasoning needed for [feature]
   
     fallback: gpt-3.5-turbo
     fallback_trigger: |
       - Primary model unavailable
       - Latency exceeds SLA
       - Simple queries (classification)
   

Phase 3: Environment Structure

1. MUST define environment progression:

   environments:
     development:
       purpose: Feature development and testing
       quota:
         daily_tokens: 100000
         max_cost_usd: 10
       models: [gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4]
       restrictions: none
   
     qa:
       purpose: Integration testing, shadow mode
       quota:
         daily_tokens: 500000
         max_cost_usd: 50
       models: [gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4]
       restrictions: no_production_data
   
     shadow:
       purpose: Production validation without user impact
       quota:
         daily_tokens: 1000000
         max_cost_usd: 100
       models: [gpt-4-turbo]
       restrictions: requires_airb_approval
   
     production:
       purpose: Live user traffic
       quota:
         daily_tokens: 5000000
         max_cost_usd: 500
       models: [gpt-4-turbo]
       restrictions: requires_airb_approval, monitoring_required
   

2. MUST specify progression gates:

   From	To	Requirements
   Dev	QA	Unit tests pass, code review
   QA	Shadow	Integration tests, security scan
   Shadow	Prod	AIRB approval, shadow metrics acceptable

Phase 4: Cost and Quota Configuration

1. MUST set up cost guardrails:

   cost_management:
     budgets:
       monthly_budget_usd: 1000
       alert_threshold_percent: 75
       hard_limit_percent: 100
   
     per_request:
       max_input_tokens: 4000
       max_output_tokens: 2000
       max_cost_per_request_usd: 0.50
   
     rate_limiting:
       requests_per_minute: 60
       tokens_per_minute: 100000
   
     alerts:
       - condition: daily_cost > 50
         action: notify_owner
       - condition: hourly_requests > 1000
         action: notify_oncall
       - condition: monthly_cost > budget * 0.9
         action: [notify_owner, reduce_quota]
   

2. MUST configure monitoring:

   monitoring:
     metrics:
       - token_usage_by_model
       - cost_by_environment
       - latency_percentiles
       - error_rate
       - user_satisfaction
   
     dashboards:
       - cost_overview
       - usage_trends
       - performance_sla
   
     log_retention: 90_days
   

Phase 5: AIRB Risk Tier Determination

1. MUST document risk tier with justification:

   ## Preliminary Risk Assessment
   
   **Project**: [Project Name]
   **Assessed Tier**: Tier [1-4]
   
   ### Assessment Criteria
   
   | Factor            | Value                          | Impact            |
   | ----------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------- |
   | PHI Access        | [None/Read/Write]              | [Low/Medium/High] |
   | PII Access        | [None/Read/Write]              | [Low/Medium/High] |
   | Decision Type     | [Advisory/Augmented/Automated] | [Low/Medium/High] |
   | User Population   | [Internal/External]            | [Low/Medium/High] |
   | Error Consequence | [Low/Medium/High/Critical]     | [Impact]          |
   
   ### Tier Justification
   
   [Explanation of why this tier was selected]
   
   ### Required Actions for This Tier
   
   - [ ] [Action 1]
   - [ ] [Action 2]
