AI governance.

AI is part of how Stacklumen builds and maintains client work — and it runs under strict governance. Access is scoped to your project, every prompt must relate to your own site, and use outside that scope carries real contractual consequences. This page is the full policy.

01 / Model

The governance model.

One principle drives everything on this page: AI at Stacklumen exists to serve your project — and only your project.

// Scoped access
AI usage is granted only within the scope of your engagement — the site, application, or deliverable Stacklumen is building, hosting, or maintaining for you. There is no general-purpose AI access attached to any project.
// Site-specific prompts
Every prompt, request, or instruction submitted through Stacklumen’s AI workflows must relate specifically to your own site or project. Scope is defined by your proposal, SOW, or hosting arrangement.
// How requests flow
All AI-assisted changes run through the agency: describe what you need in your shared Slack channel and tag @iainfeeney. Stacklumen authors and executes all agent work internally — see the Slack agent terms.
// Authority
Stacklumen governs all AI tooling, access, and workflows, and may adjust, pause, or withdraw them at any time. Governance decisions are ours to make and final.
02 / Permitted

What’s in scope.

Anything that moves your project forward. If it’s about your site, it belongs here.

01 / Changes

Changes to your site

Updates, fixes, new sections, and styling work on the site or app covered by your engagement.

02 / Content

Content for your site

Copy, structure, and content work destined for your own pages and properties.

03 / Questions

Questions about your build

How your site works, what’s possible within scope, and what a change would involve.

04 / Planning

Planning within scope

Roadmapping and prioritizing work on your project — upgrades, phases, and maintenance.

03 / Prohibited

What’s out.

Out-of-scope use isn’t a gray area — it’s a contractual line. These are the categories that cross it.

// Unrelated work
Prompts or requests unrelated to your own site or project — including work for other businesses, other websites, or personal tasks.
// Other properties
Using Stacklumen’s AI workflows to produce work product for properties, brands, or entities not covered by your engagement.
// General-purpose use
Treating project AI access as a general assistant — research, writing, or tooling requests with no connection to your site.
// Cross-project access
Any attempt to reach other clients’ projects, Stacklumen’s internal systems or instructions, or data you’re not authorized to access.
04 / Consequences

Violations & consequences.

We keep this policy short and the consequences unambiguous, because scoped AI access only works if the boundary holds.

// The violation
Any prompt, request, or use of Stacklumen’s AI workflows outside your project scope — as described in section 03 — is a violation of these terms.
// Receivables
Upon violation, all outstanding receivables on the engagement become due immediately — including milestone balances and unbilled work to date.
// Termination
The project may be terminated with cause, effective on notice. Termination with cause does not entitle the client to refunds of amounts already paid.
// Access removal
AI workflows, shared channels, and related access may be removed immediately upon violation, alongside the remedies in our App Terms.
[ Plainly ]

Use AI for your site and everything works beautifully. Use it for anything else and the balance comes due and the project ends, with cause. If you’re unsure whether something is in scope — ask first. Asking is always free.

In scope? Ask first.

If you’re ever unsure whether a request fits your project’s scope, ask before you prompt. We’ll tell you straight — and if it’s in scope, we’ll ship it.
