Days one and two: purpose and evidence
On the first day, choose one proposed tool, service, or improvement and describe the people it is intended to serve. Write a clear statement of purpose. On the second day, gather the evidence relevant to that purpose. Record the source, date, intended setting, and questions that require qualified interpretation. For health AI, the companion Convergence Q45 evidence guide offers a structure for the conversation. This seven day practice is an original leadership reflection exercise; product decisions still require the expertise appropriate to the intended use.
Days three and four: listening and access
On the third day, listen to a person who can speak about the experience the service is intended to support. Ask what is useful, confusing, or difficult. Obtain permission before recording or sharing a contribution. On the fourth day, consider access: language, readability, disability access, connectivity, device availability, time, and the ability to reach a responsible person. Record what you have learned and what still needs verification. Let the people being served help shape the questions.
Days five and six: responsibility and action
On the fifth day, identify who is responsible for reviewing concerns, interpreting evidence, and communicating changes. Describe how a person can ask a question and receive a response. On the sixth day, choose one proportionate next step. It might be requesting a missing evaluation, improving an explanation, clarifying the service scope, or seeking input from the relevant professional. Give that action an owner and a review date. Keep uncertainties visible so that confidence grows from examined information.
Day seven: reflect and steward what you learned
Review the week through three prompts: What became clearer? Who helped shape my understanding? What responsibility will I carry forward? Within a Christian practice, prayer and wise counsel can accompany that reflection. Keep a short record of the evidence, questions, and next action. Revisit it when the tool, setting, or people involved change. Responsible innovation becomes a steady practice when curiosity, humility, and follow through remain part of the work.
