The audit trail habit

Logging what an automation did (when, what, result) is the difference between a controlled system and a mystery.

For any automation or recurring AI task you use, check: does a log exist showing what ran, when, on what? You're done when you've either found the log or written the one-line request to add one.

Worked example

When someone asks 'why did the customer get that email?', 'the AI did it' is not an answer. A log is: timestamp, input, action, result. If your automation writes no trail, you don't own it — you're just standing near it.
