5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Breaks a topic into research questions, gathers relevant passages from approved knowledge sources, and prepares a cited article draft.

  1. Confirm purpose, permissions, and consent

    Use only the information and accounts approved for article drafts researched from an approved knowledge collection; explain collection, honor contact or data choices, and keep access limited to the people who need it.

  2. Review the task-specific evidence

    Open each citation, check surrounding context and date, and remove claims not supported by the supplied evidence.

  3. Check source details and uncertainty

    Verify dates, identifiers, facts, and omissions for article drafts researched from an approved knowledge collection against current original records; mark unknowns rather than filling gaps by assumption.

  4. Protect privacy, safety, and rights

    Minimize sensitive details, respect confidentiality and copyright, verify consent or usage rights where relevant, and use a safe human handoff for high-impact or uncertain cases.

  5. Approve before taking consequential action

    Require an accountable person to confirm the exact content, record, recipient, destination, and likely impact before sending, publishing, deleting, changing, or committing anything.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define purpose, access, and retention

Document who may use article drafts researched from an approved knowledge collection, which sources are allowed, what people are told, and when collected information is removed.

Set validation and exception rules

Use only cleared sources, retain source and version metadata, exclude restricted documents, and save outputs as drafts until approved.

Limit sensitive data and recipients

Use the minimum required fields, restrict source records and outputs, and keep private details out of broad alerts or unrelated work.

Keep external and high-impact steps human-approved

Test that messages, publication, financial or clinical decisions, destructive changes, and other consequential actions remain paused until an authorized person approves them.
