The harness around the model is critical. - Model choice: LinkTheWorlds uses model routing based on reliability, cost, latency, privacy, and task fit rather than assuming one model is best for every job. - n8n best practices: Production workflows need clear triggers, small nodes, retries, audit logs, credential hygiene, and human approval for risky actions. - AI governance: SME governance starts with defining what the system may do, what it must log, when people review it, and which data it can access. - AI for SMEs: Strong first projects reduce repeated admin, improve customer replies, answer document questions, qualify leads, handle bookings, or improve handoffs. ## Published Proof - [RSVP Automation for 3,000+ Members](https://daviddespres.co.uk/case-studies/rsvp-automation-3000-members.html): Public case study for a WhatsApp and n8n system used in a 3,000+ member operation.
