Workshop slides
Ten slides for the 2-hour workshop. Scroll through them on a projector, or print: choose landscape and “Save as PDF”. Each slide prints on its own page.
Two-hour workshop
Use AI on real work. Check what it gives you.
A skill briefing. Nothing to buy.
Which parts does the source back up?
Source R1
Riley coordinates six people processing 40 requests weekly at about 18 minutes per request. A two-week trial of AI-assisted request summaries is proposed. No trial has run; savings are unknown.
Draft
“Our 20-person team has reduced processing time by 40% with AI. The system is ready for rollout across the organization. We recommend immediate adoption.”
Supported · contradicted · unsupported. Fictional case from Foundations 01.
A fluent draft is not proof.
- A language model generates text from patterns in its training and the context you give it.
- It can work through a task and still be wrong.
- A claim needs evidence: a source, a calculation or a test.
AI drafts. You verify. You own.
Your name goes on the work.
Match the check to the failure.
- No source behind a claim: find the source or cut the claim.
- A misread source: open the exact passage.
- A number: recompute it.
- A current rule or rate: check a current official source.
Prompt like an Operator.
Context
Who you are. What is going on.
Task
What you want produced.
Standards
Format, length, audience, what to avoid.
Evidence
Which facts it may use. What to do when support is missing.
Prompt 1
“Write a resume bullet for my logistics job.”
Prompt 2
“Using only the supplied fictional profile, write three active-voice bullets for a civilian supply-chain manager. Remove military jargon; use at most 25 words per bullet. Preserve all supplied figures and add no achievements.”
Your record maps to civilian job titles.

Now you.
- Name one real task you will do this week.
- Write the four-part prompt for it.
- List what you would check before you use the result.
One move tomorrow.
Take a task you would do anyway. Write the four-part prompt. Check the output against your source before you use it.
