- Use iterative dialogue with AI to refine an output to a professional standard, giving specific feedback and knowing when to stop
- Use the Ladder to scaffold a complex document from structure to substance, using placeholders to avoid invented claims
- Apply the Mirror Framework to stress-test their own thinking, and use the four Boundary conditions to decide where human judgement must take over
