Core techniques team session

Before the session

Read Days 21, 26 and 28 (about five minutes each), or Module 3 on the cheat sheet.

The 30 minutes

1. 0–5 minOpen

   One-word round: when AI gives you a weak answer, what do you usually do next?

2. 5–15 minDiscuss three days
   • Day 21: Show, don't tell.Where do we have a good example of our own work that we could show AI, instead of describing what we want?
   • Day 26: Big job? Make it a chain.Which of our bigger jobs could we split into steps, and where would we check between them?
   • Day 28: Make it check its own work.When we ask AI to review something, do we ask if it's good or ask what's weak for a specific reader?
3. 15–25 minExercise: Build a chain

   Pick one bigger job the team does, such as a monthly report. On the board, break it into extract, analyse, draft and review, and write down what someone checks at each step before the next one starts.

4. 25–30 minAction for the week

   Each person tries one technique from today on real work this week and brings back the before and after.

   Agree the team rule: “Show it good, check each step, and ask what's weak.”
