Implementation Overview: AI vs Human vs Hybrid

“Know when to use the tool. Know when to be the tool.”

Every process in Liana Banyan has a defined implementation type. This transparency ensures everyone knows where AI assists, where humans lead, and where both collaborate.

The Hybrid Workflow Patterns

Pattern 1: AI Proposes, Human Disposes

AI generates output
       ↓
Human reviews
       ↓
  ┌────┴────┐
  │         │
APPROVE   REJECT
  ↓         ↓
Proceed   Return to AI
          (with feedback)

Examples:

  • Patent claims
  • Letter drafts
  • Code changes

Pattern 2: Human Creates, AI Verifies

Human creates content
        ↓
AI verifies (Star Chamber)
        ↓
   ┌────┴────┐
   │         │

Examples:

  • Financial claims
  • Technical specifications
  • Public statements

Decision Matrix: When to Use What

Use AI When:

  • ✅ Task is rule-based
  • ✅ Outcome is deterministic
  • ✅ Volume is high
  • ✅ Speed matters
  • ✅ Consistency required
  • ✅ No judgment needed

Use Human When:

  • ✅ Legal liability involved
  • ✅ Relationship matters
  • ✅ Context is complex
  • ✅ Values conflict
  • ✅ Precedent unclear
  • ✅ Accountability required

Use Hybrid When:

  • ✅ AI can handle 80% of work
  • ✅ Human needed for edge cases
  • ✅ Quality assurance required
  • ✅ Both skills contribute
  • ✅ Workflow has natural handoffs
  • ✅ Either could fail alone

Why Document Implementation Types?

Transparency

  • Everyone knows what’s automated
  • No hidden AI decisions
  • Audit trail exists

Accountability

  • Clear ownership per process
  • Know who to ask
  • Responsibility assigned

Improvement

  • Identify bottlenecks
  • Know what to automate next
  • Measure AI vs human performance

Trust

  • Members understand the system
  • No “black box” feeling
  • Predictable behavior

The MimicTrunk Integration

As members progress through MimicTrunk trust levels, their implementation access changes:

LevelAI AccessHuman Override
TraineeAI guides everythingFounder approves all
JuniorAI assists, flags issuesFounder reviews major
LieutenantAI executes, reportsPeer review
SeniorAI executes autonomouslySelf-directed
CommanderFull AI accessTrains others

Higher trust = more AI autonomy.
