Model
Human → AI → Human · Direction → Acceleration → Judgment. Humans initiate, AI accelerates, humans evaluate and remain responsible.
Direction
Human
Define the purpose, problem, context, constraints and desired outcome before involving AI.
Diagnostic questions
What are we trying to achieve?
Who is this for?
What does success look like?
What information matters?
What constraints must be respected?
What should not be delegated?
Acceleration
AI
Use AI to expand, organise, analyse, draft, compare, simulate or transform the work.
Useful forms of acceleration
generating options
summarising material
structuring information
creating first drafts
exploring alternatives
identifying patterns
adapting content
accelerating repetitive work
Judgment
Human
Verify, challenge, refine and take responsibility for the final outcome.
Diagnostic questions
Is it accurate?
Is it relevant?
Is it ethical?
Is it appropriate for the audience?
What has been omitted?
What needs to be rewritten?
Am I willing to be accountable for this?
Stage-by-stage examples
Direction (Human)
Define the purpose, problem, context, constraints and desired outcome before involving AI.
When this stage is missing
vague prompts generic output misaligned answers wasted time automation without purpose
Acceleration (AI)
Use AI to expand, organise, analyse, draft, compare, simulate or transform the work.
When this stage is missing
missed opportunities slower iteration unnecessary manual work reduced exploration
Judgment (Human)
Verify, challenge, refine and take responsibility for the final outcome.
When this stage is missing
hallucinations poor decisions inappropriate tone factual errors ethical failures unexamined bias loss of accountability
