Redline the draft like a purchase agreement
Lesson 4 of 6 · Brief it like a new acquisitions VA
1 · Learn the move · Red-team audit
You already read a purchase agreement looking for what will hurt you, not for what reads nicely. Point the same habit at the model's own draft. Hand it back and make it attack itself, with the failure shapes named so it has somewhere to look: a figure with no document behind it, a certainty the record does not support, a date it computed rather than quoted, and outreach language that assumes a permission you do not have. Naming the shapes matters more than asking for a general check, because a general check returns 'looks good' and a shaped check returns line numbers.
You are now the reviewer of the draft below, not its author. Attack it. Find: (1) any figure with no source document, (2) any certainty about title, boundary or access, (3) any deadline you computed rather than quoted, (4) any outreach language assuming consent. Quote each line and say what would fix it.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
A model drafted you a tidy one-page summary of a tract and it reads well, which is exactly what worries you. Write the prompt that makes it tear its own draft apart before you act on it.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
