00:00:05.583 — The idea

Include review effort and important errors. Consider a template or simpler process. Treat a result from a small training set as evidence to investigate, not a universal benefit.

00:00:20.500 — One useful term

Total effort. All work needed for the result, including drafting, checking and correction.

00:00:29.750 — A worked example

Manual notices take ten minutes. AI drafting takes three minutes plus eight minutes of review: eleven. A template takes seven minutes in the small test and avoids the observed unsupported dates.

Pause the video if you need more time.

00:01:02.333 — Why this answer works

No. Three plus eight is eleven. The template is the stronger current candidate, pending broader testing.
