Scenario

You get a first draft from AI. Now the real work begins.

01

A loop beats a single prompt

Useful AI work often follows a loop: prompt, inspect, critique, revise, verify. Each pass sharpens the result.

02

Inspect before refining

Do not ask for a revision until you know what failed. Look for missing context, wrong tone, weak structure, unsupported claims, or poor format.
