Ten questions, two minutes, one score.
Overheard at the AI rollout
Sound familiar?
“We gave it admin because scoping it was going to take a sprint.”
“MFA is our control. The agent doesn’t have a phone.”
“Our IAM tells me who could do it. Not whether it should have.”
“Finance wants to know who approved the bill. So do I.”
