Method

  1. 01

    Name the artifact and what done means

    Ask for a document with headings and source links, or for another form you can check: a spreadsheet with named columns, or a short recommendation followed by the evidence.

  2. 02

    Keep facts, assumptions, and actions apart

    Ask for facts found in sources, assumptions or inferences, and the actions it recommends, in separate sections. For a decision, also ask what it already did and what is still waiting on you.

  3. 03

    Review the file it returns

    Open the card, follow the links, and ask it to revise that same file when something is missing. A screenshot alone is a weak record for anything that changes quickly.
