Cognitive Sovereignty Self-Audit for Chief Marketing Officers
This audit measures whether you are making strategic brand and creative decisions yourself, or whether AI tools are quietly replacing your judgement. Your answers show how much of your decision-making power you have already delegated to machines.
Write your positioning statement or brief in full before you ask AI anything. You will notice how much differently you think when you are not anchored to AI options.
Read at least one original research report every quarter with no AI summary. Pay attention to what you notice that an AI summary would have missed.
Keep a running list of the best work your teams have done in the past year. Use that list as your standard for exceptional, not the baseline that AI produces.
When you reject work for being generic or AI-like, write down exactly why. This trains your eye and gives your teams clear feedback on what brand voice actually means.
Once per month, make one strategic decision without consulting AI at all. Notice whether your confidence in that decision is higher or lower than decisions you made with AI input.
