Disclosure norms — when to say AI helped

Teams need an explicit norm for when AI assistance is disclosed (external docs, analysis, code) versus assumed (drafts, formatting).

Draft a 3-line disclosure norm for your team: where AI use is assumed, where it's disclosed, and the rule when someone asks. You're done when one teammate has agreed or amended it.

Worked example

Did AI write this?' shouldn't be an awkward question. Healthy teams make the norm explicit: assumed for drafts and formatting, disclosed for external documents, analysis, and code review, always answered honestly when someone asks. Deciding this before the awkward moment is the whole trick.
