| Outcome | Practice in |
|---|---|
| Can choose a low-risk task and define a measurable success criterion. | |
| Can give an agent enough context and constraints to produce a usable first draft. | |
| Can verify an AI-generated result against source evidence and flag uncertainty. | |
| Can package and rerun an AI workflow with explicit checks and stop conditions. | |
| Can demonstrate a working AI-assisted task and explain its limits using evidence. |

Choose and delegate
- Choose a task you can safely delegate
Turn a small recurring task into a measurable, low-risk experiment.
Practice checkpoint (ungraded): Keep a task brief with one measurable criterion and one explicit boundary.
- Give an agent a brief it can act on
State the input, desired output and boundaries before asking for work.
Practice checkpoint (ungraded): Save your brief, the agent clarification question and the revised draft.
Verify, repeat and demonstrate
- Check a result before relying on it
Trace claims to supplied evidence and catch an unsupported statement.
Practice checkpoint (ungraded): Submit a claim-to-source table with a corrected unsupported claim.
- Turn a successful attempt into a reusable workflow
Package your brief, checks and stop conditions so the next run is repeatable.
Practice checkpoint (ungraded): Run the checklist on a different input and keep the difference between the two runs.
- Show what works and what still needs a human
Assemble a small evidence pack and test whether the workflow transfers.
Practice checkpoint (ungraded): Keep a before/after example, one failure case and a date to repeat the task in a week.
