Reliable instructions from incomplete source documents
Project coordination · client work · operations
A source-linked action draft that does not invent owners, dates or commitments.
SYNTHETIC PRACTICE CASE
Start with the situation
Two synthetic documents sit side by side. Source A, a supplier offer, says 14 business days from the purchase order. Source B, an internal note, says only “the ninth”. The purchase-order date, note owner and note date are intentionally missing, and no commercial response has been approved.
PARTICIPANT TASK
Mark the source sentence for every proposed action.
Label every owner and date as stated, assumed or missing.
Turn missing facts into short confirmation questions.
Red flag to catchThe draft calculates a delivery date, treats “the ninth” as a confirmed delivery date, or says a commercial response is approved.
Human authority boundaryNo commercial response has been approved. No external reply, order or payment is authorised from this draft; it stays internal until an authorised person acts.

Work from the evidence, not the story around it
These short excerpts are training material. They do not describe a live company, customer, person or transaction.
Source · A · Supplier offer
Lead time: 14 business days from the purchase order.
Source · B · Internal note
The ninth.
Source · Internal request
Prepare an internal review draft. No commercial response has been approved.

INTERACTIVE WORKBOARD
Watch the decision move across the board
CASE STEP 01 / 07
Move through the case before you write. The board keeps evidence and authority in separate columns.
GUIDED VISUAL WALKTHROUGH
The board moves through seven decision steps. This version has no audio.
01Read the source packet
02Keep unknowns visible
03Separate the two columns
04Inspect the generated review draft
05Rewrite without sending
06Check four boundaries
07Take one careful next step
CASE STEP 01
Read the source packet
EVIDENCE
Source A says 14 business days from the purchase order; Source B says “the ninth”.
AUTHORITY
The internal review remains preparation only.
Narration (text)Before an AI gives you an answer, make the evidence visible. This is a fictional work case.
CAREFUL NEXT MOVEKeep both source statements separate.
No audio in this version. Narration is shown as text.
01
Decide before the explanation
Which statement is actually supported by the source packet?
02
Find the unsupported leap
Which line crosses the authority and evidence boundary?
03
Compare two internal drafts
One draft adds commitments the source packet does not support. The contrast is about evidence and authority, not tone.
GENERATED DRAFT · FOR REVIEW ONLY
It is a fictional over-reaching draft written for this lesson. Use it to locate the gaps.
Delivery is due on the ninth.
Purchasing will calculate the delivery date.
We will email the supplier today.
YOUR INTERNAL DRAFT · NOT SENTReference internal draft
A careful draft keeps uncertainty visible and separates preparation from permission.
Subject: supplier offer and internal note — review pending
Source A: 14 business days from the purchase order. Source B: “the ninth.”
Prepare an internal review draft; no calculation or commercial response is approved.
No email, order, payment or external update is authorised from this draft.
04
Build the instruction before you ask for the draft
STRUCTURED INSTRUCTION BUILDER
A useful workplace instruction says what to do, what evidence is allowed, what the output must contain, what remains unknown and who keeps authority. Use synthetic lesson material only.
Write all five parts before opening the reference instruction. Nothing you type is sent or saved.
Nothing entered here is sent, stored or used to open an action.
05
Study the reference approach
Open this after the first decision. It is an annotated example, not the only acceptable wording.
Reveal the reference approach
A careful internal draft preserves the request and makes the gaps usable.
Source A: retain “14 business days from the purchase order” without calculating a delivery date.
Source B: retain “the ninth” as a separate source statement, not a confirmed delivery date.
Unknowns and boundary: purchase-order date, note owner and note date remain open; no external reply, order or payment is authorised.
Quick self-review rubric
Compare your draft with these four boundaries; this is guidance, not a score.
Source A lead time
Pass signal: Keeps “14 business days from PO”.
Red flag: Calculates a delivery date.
Source B note
Pass signal: Keeps “the ninth”.
Red flag: Treats it as a confirmed delivery date.
Unknowns and authority
Pass signal: Shows PO date, note owner and note date as unknown; internal draft only.
Red flag: Sends, orders or pays.
Confirmation route
Pass signal: Names one clear internal reviewer question.
Red flag: Leaves the next step vague.
06
Build your internal draft
Write a concise internal answer in your own words. Use synthetic material only; do not paste company or personal data.
Nothing entered here is sent, stored or used to open an action.
07
Apply the authority gate
After creating the internal draft, what is the controlled next state?
08
Transfer to a changed case
Make the transfer visible in three short parts. This checks the method, not a memorised phrase.
No new evidence arrives. Keep Source A, Source B and all three unknowns visible while you rewrite the generated draft without extending the authority boundary.
Case update: no new evidence arrives. Rewrite the review so Source A, Source B and all three unknowns remain visible.
Each field starts with a generated line that crosses the evidence or authority boundary. Rewrite it so a reviewer can see the two source facts, the unknowns and the internal-only route.
Sample case — no real names or numbers needed. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Rewrite each generated line before using the self-review. Your text stays in this browser view.
Every claim is traceable to a source sentence or marked unknown.
Unknown owner, date and approval stay visibly unresolved.
The output remains an internal draft; no external action is implied.
The next reviewer has one precise confirmation question or route.
CHECK YOUR DRAFT

Use these checks against your own draft. They are a private browser checklist, not a score or a completion record.
