Enterprise AI working session

See how DataKnobs moves from data and context to governed AI outcomes.

A hands-on platform and solution workshop for data, AI, engineering, product, risk, and architecture teams. Learn the KREATE–KONTROLS–KNOBS operating model, then apply it to two end-to-end solution architectures.

What participants should leave with

A working mental model: not a catalog tour.

The session is designed to help a team decide how an AI capability should be built, controlled, evaluated, deployed, and improved inside its existing enterprise environment.

01

Architecture map

Where enterprise context, data products, models, agents, APIs, and user experiences fit together.

02

Control model

Which policies, approvals, lineage, privacy boundaries, and human-review points belong in the workflow.

03

Evaluation model

How to evaluate data, retrieval, prompts, models, agents, business outcomes, and operational burden.

04

Adoption plan

A candidate starting use case, deployment boundary, integration path, and next-step implementation plan.

DataKnobs platform model

Three responsibilities: create, govern, improve.

The workshop now centers the actual DataKnobs trio. ABExperiment and evaluation tooling are shown as ways KNOBS can be measured and tested: not as a fourth peer pillar.

KREATE

Create the capability

Turn enterprise data and context into reusable data products, digital experiences, assistants, agents, and workflow services.

  • Data products and signals
  • Websites, portals, APIs, and reports
  • RAG assistants and tool-using agents
  • Workflow orchestration and automation
KONTROLS

Govern the execution

Define what the system may access, say, decide, and do: and retain evidence of how those boundaries were applied.

  • Lineage, identity, policy, privacy
  • Human review and approval gates
  • Auditability and evidence
  • Risk and compliance checks
KNOBS

Make behavior adjustable

Expose the choices that materially affect quality, cost, risk, speed, and autonomy so they can be measured rather than buried in code.

  • Data and context selection
  • Prompt, model, retrieval, thresholds
  • Tool access and agent autonomy
  • Evals, A/B tests, rollouts, optimization

The operating loop

Build once. Learn continuously.

Participants see how the trio works throughout the lifecycle rather than as three disconnected product demos.

Discover

Define decision + evidence

Clarify users, context, risk, data, and measurable business acceptance.

Create

Build with KREATE

Assemble the data product, application, assistant, agent, or workflow.

Govern

Apply KONTROLS

Set policy, identity, approvals, lineage, privacy, and execution boundaries.

Measure

Evaluate KNOBS

Compare prompts, models, context, thresholds, cost, latency, and autonomy choices.

Operate

Improve with evidence

Monitor production behavior and adjust approved knobs without redesigning the entire system.

Default deep dives

Two very different solutions. The same platform responsibilities.

The workshop keeps the original Stocks AI Assistant and Complaint Management examples because they demonstrate both public/market intelligence and a governed enterprise workflow.

Deep dive 1

Stocks AI Assistant & Data Product

Explore how market data, filings, earnings calls, scores, and user questions become a governed decision-support experience.

  • Structured + unstructured data product design
  • RAG and tool patterns for company research
  • Quality/evaluation for summaries and signals
  • Knobs for models, prompts, data windows, thresholds, and explanation depth
Market data + filings + earnings → governed data product → assistant/tools → evaluation → user-facing decision support.
Deep dive 2

Complaint Management with AI

Explore how calls, chats, tickets, policy context, classifications, and human review become a production workflow in a regulated environment.

  • Classification, extraction, root-cause themes, and routing
  • Policy, PII/privacy, lineage, approvals, and audit evidence
  • Threshold knobs for complaint/non-complaint decisions
  • Model evaluation plus operational acceptance and escalation burden
Customer interaction → classification/extraction → controls + human review → routing/action → monitoring and improvement.

Agenda

Half-day for alignment. Full-day for working design.

Exact timing is tailored to the team. The full-day format adds deeper architecture work, group exercises, and an adoption blueprint.

PART 1

Business outcome & context

Map users, decisions, data, risks, workflow constraints, and acceptance criteria.

PART 2

Trio deep dive

KREATE, KONTROLS, KNOBS and how they connect to existing enterprise platforms.

PART 3

Solution architecture #1

Stocks/company intelligence: data product, assistant, evaluation, and runtime controls.

PART 4

Solution architecture #2

Complaint management: regulated workflow, policy evidence, thresholds, and human review.

PART 5

Your adoption blueprint

Choose a starting workflow and document architecture, controls, knobs, evaluation, and rollout steps.

Deliverables

Make the session usable the next day.

For private workshops, the session can be oriented around the customer's own architecture and result in working artifacts rather than generic training notes.

  • Target workflow and business acceptance definition
  • Reference architecture and deployment boundary
  • Data/context inventory and integration questions
  • KONTROLS checklist and approval points
  • Candidate KNOBS and evaluation plan
  • Implementation priorities, risks, and next steps

Use your architecture, data, and workflow as the workshop case.

Share the team roles, target use case, existing cloud/data environment, governance constraints, and desired outcome. DataKnobs can tailor the session and replace either default deep dive when another example is more relevant.

FAQ

Workshop questions.

Is this a generic AI training course?

No. The workshop uses DataKnobs platform responsibilities and concrete enterprise solution architectures to help teams make design and adoption decisions.

Can the deep dives be changed?

Yes. Stocks AI and Complaint Management are useful defaults, but a private workshop can substitute a workflow that better matches the team's domain.

What should participants leave with?

The target outputs are an architecture map, controls/evaluation checklist, candidate knobs, and a practical adoption plan for a selected workflow.
