# Chapter 14 — Practice-on-your-own hints — Companion > Diagnostic hints for the Practice-on-your-own problems from Chapter 14 of The Defensible Decision. Canonical URL: https://www.thedefensibledecision.com/ch/14/practice/ [← Chapter 14 companion](/ch/14/) · [All chapter resources](/ch/) Short diagnostic hints for the two Practice on your own problems in this chapter. Attempt each problem before opening the hint. Complete answers appear in Appendix G of The Defensible Decision: Practice Workbook. ### Problem 1 — the disclosure dilemma Restated: A senior colleague argues against attaching disclosure footnotes to AI-directed artifacts because «it makes our team look less capable than the ones next door who don’t disclose.» Write the one-paragraph counter-argument, grounded in what the disclosure standard is for (not a self-flattering claim, an evidence trail for the audience’s ability to challenge the artifact). Show a diagnostic hint Diagnostic cue. State the disclosure a decision-maker needs before weighing whether the artifact can ship. Complete answers appear in Appendix G of The Defensible Decision: Practice Workbook. ### Problem 2 — the role mismatch Restated: You inherit a dashboard from a colleague who left. It carries an AI-directed disclosure and a recommendation verification level. On review, its actual role in the business turned out to be decision artifact — six months of quarterly forecasts have been anchored to its numbers. Name the escalation move (add the missing decision-artifact-grade verification), the disclosure amendment (name the role escalation in the footnote), and the one message you would send to the manager who inherited the workflow. Show a diagnostic hint Diagnostic cue. Match review authority to the artifact's materiality, affected audience, and decision risk. Complete answers appear in Appendix G of The Defensible Decision: Practice Workbook. ### Related on this site - [Chapter 14 companion page](/ch/14/) — the responsible-AI framework, verification tiers, and disclosure standards. - [Resources](/resources/) — downloadable disclosure templates and verification-tier checklists. - [All chapter companion pages](/ch/). - [Feedback](/errata/) — share corrections and improvement opportunities across all chapters. ### About the three-tier Practice format Each chapter of the book closes with a three-tier Practice block adapted from Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic's course-adoption pattern in Storytelling with Data: Let's Practice!: Practice with us (one worked problem with full solution in the book), Practice on your own (open problems with complete answers in Appendix G of the Practice Workbook; this page offers short diagnostic hints), and Practice at work (an open-ended prompt to apply the chapter's move to a live artifact). This page hosts the middle tier.
