IT Change Advisory Engine
Reviews a proposed change against your change policy and returns a governed advisory decision — approve, approve with conditions, defer to the change board or reject — weighing risk, blast radius and rollback, with a change manager sign-off required before anything reaches production.

— USE CASES
What people use IT Change Advisory Engine for
Changes requiring safeguards
Identifies where approval depends on specific conditions and states the safeguards required. Mandatory risk gates remain binding rather than discretionary.
Decisions needing board scrutiny
Supports referral to the change advisory board where the policy requires broader scrutiny, with a documented basis for that referral.
Production change governance
Keeps decision support distinct from production authorisation by retaining mandatory change-manager sign-off. The assessment does not replace accountable human approval.
What it works from
- IT change request and supporting details
- Organisation-specific change policy
- Risk criteria and mandatory approval requirements
- Change-manager sign-off requirements
What you get back
- Approve, approve with conditions, defer to the change advisory board or reject verdict
- Decision rationale grounded in the change policy
- Assessment of mandatory risk gates
- Conditions attached to approval, where applicable
Why this is expensive by hand
IT change decisions need to balance delivery pressure with service stability and clear accountability. Routine change assessment is the typical trigger — provides a policy-based verdict on an IT change request, with a clear rationale that makes the decision easier to review and defend. Get it right and the conclusion holds up in the room; get it rushed and it gets picked apart. Either way it costs roughly 1–2 hours of experienced attention.
How this Skill produces it
Skillsize turns that work into a Skill: you supply the material, and what comes back is approve, approve with conditions, defer to the change advisory board or reject verdict, with decision rationale grounded in the change policy. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. Net effect: 1–2 hours down to ~5 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Who it's for
- Operations and continuous improvement leads
- Transformation and automation teams
- Service delivery and shared services managers
- Consultants running process diagnostics
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
IT Change Advisory Engine exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
