A short policy should say which data must never be uploaded, where human review is mandatory, which tools are approved, and who owns the result.
Clients do not pay for the number of prompts. They pay for a solved problem, verification, judgment, and accountability. Price scope, risk, revision, and support.

AI can speed up parts of paid work, but it does not replace expertise, accountability, or finding clients. Explore realistic income models and risks.
Use AI for research, drafts, and quality control without exposing confidential data or giving up responsibility for the final client deliverable.
Calculate the full subscription cost, time saved, review effort, and break-even point to decide whether a paid AI tool genuinely pays for itself.
