01 / A clear destination

Define what “done” looks like.

A source-linked draft, three subject lines and a final fact checklist.

Questions that change the choice

  • Who is the reader, and what should they do next?
  • How many source pages and issues do you handle each month?
  • Do you have a writing assistant already?

Your acceptance checklist

  • Every factual claim maps to a supplied source
  • Quotes and numbers survive editing unchanged
  • Voice fits the supplied example
  • Measure editing time, not just generation time
Start with what you have.

Outline the same sources in your existing document editor. Compare the time needed to reach a checked draft.

When to take another approach: Do not use an unreviewed draft for claims about clients, results or sensitive subjects.

02 / Know what to look for

A small example. A visible standard.

Original fictional practice material and an illustrative editorial reference. This is not output captured from any provider.

Fictional studio update
[S1] The workshop is on 18 September, from 14:00 to 15:00 UTC.
[S2] There are 12 seats. Registration closes on 15 September.
[S3] Participants should bring one draft. Feedback is included.
Voice: practical, warm, no hype. Audience: independent writers.
No ticket price or results statistics have been supplied.
A failure worth catching

Calling the workshop free, adding a success rate, or inventing a registration URL would introduce unsupported facts.

You may reuse these original practice materials. For media tasks, supply your own authorized recording; the transcript exercise is not a video sample.

04 / The working guide

Prepare. Make. Check. Continue.

Choose candidates for their stated stage, or use the existing-tool baseline. Some tools cover only editing or transcript processing. Prompts are starting points; interfaces and plan limits vary.

  1. 01

    Build a fact ledger

    BringSource notes with stable IDs

    ProduceFacts, citations and open questions

    Prompt & instructions
    Extract only explicit facts from the supplied notes. Return fact | source ID | uncertainty. Do not infer a price, year or URL. Mark missing information as unknown.

    Human checkpoint: Check every number, date and quotation against the source.

    If it fails: Split long sources into numbered sections and redo only missing facts.

  2. 02

    Choose the angle

    BringChecked ledger + reader + purpose

    ProduceA short outline

    Prompt & instructions
    Using the checked ledger, propose two newsletter outlines for the stated audience. Explain the reader benefit. Keep unsupported claims out. Ask for missing information before drafting.

    Human checkpoint: The outline serves one audience and has one clear next step.

    If it fails: Remove secondary topics and make the intended action explicit.

  3. 03

    Draft in your voice

    BringApproved outline + voice sample

    ProduceDraft with source IDs

    Prompt & instructions
    Write a concise draft from this outline and ledger. Use the voice sample for style only, not new facts. Keep source IDs next to factual sentences. Provide three subject lines without invented urgency.

    Human checkpoint: Tone changes must not alter facts or imply unproven results.

    If it fails: Rewrite only the affected paragraph with its source alongside it.

  4. 04

    Edit and hand off

    BringDraft + original ledger

    ProduceClean copy and review checklist

    Prompt & instructions
    Compare this draft with the ledger. List unsupported claims, changed numbers and missing information. Suggest minimal edits. Keep unresolved items visible; do not certify the draft as correct.

    Human checkpoint: A person checks the sources, links, date and final subject line before sending.

    If it fails: Return unresolved claims to the author; omit them if they cannot be supported.

05 / Before another subscription

What would this add to your bill?

Enter a quote for a plan you have checked. Existing seats only count if they already include the required features and allowance. This estimates new spending, not total subscription cost or task eligibility.

Add a checked quote to calculate new spending.

USD only. Taxes, foreign exchange, minimum-seat rules and variable overages are not included. Enter extra credits as a monthly assumption. A $0 addition is possible when your existing plan is sufficient.
