A clear request.
A useful direction.

A question about reference material approved for the intended use

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people find relevant information in a knowledge collection and receive an answer that is easier to check against its sources.

  1. Ask a focused question

    Describe the information needed and include useful context without adding personal or confidential details that are not necessary.

  2. Identify the kind of answer needed

    Distinguish a request for a specific fact from one that needs explanation, comparison, or background.

  3. Find relevant reference material

    Look for source passages that fit the question and keep their titles and context available.

  4. Prepare a source-linked response

    Summarize the useful information in plain language and make conflicting or incomplete evidence clear.

  5. Verify before relying on the answer

    Have a person check important statements in the original sources before making a decision or sharing the response.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A source-linked answer with uncertainty and missing information visible for human review.

The handoff

A source-linked answer with uncertainty and missing information visible for human review.

Keep in mind

A search may miss relevant material, and an answer can misread or combine source details. Use only information approved for the task, preserve access boundaries, and have a person verify consequential guidance before acting on or sharing it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the approved knowledge collection

Select current materials for the intended audience and identify the owners responsible for keeping them accurate.

Define question types and review needs

Decide which questions may receive a first-pass answer and which must go directly to a subject-matter owner.

Preserve privacy and access boundaries

Limit access to reference material and conversation history, and avoid using personal information unless it is necessary and authorized.

Test gaps and conflicting sources

Try unanswered questions, outdated guidance, and conflicting material to ensure uncertainty is routed to a person.
