FateA request contains hidden choices
A task can sound clear while leaving its scope, evidence requirements, and quality threshold unstated.
When those choices remain implicit, the result depends on someone guessing correctly.
For a recurring report, a request for a summary is not enough. Its audience, inputs, and review standard matter too.
Make the judgment reusable
Explain the purpose, constraints, and acceptance conditions. Record the reasoning that another person needs to continue.
This is management work. AI creates a stronger reason to do it well.
A work instruction puts those choices where people and AI can use them again. It should change when the work changes.
Responsibility stays with people
Clear definitions help execution. People still choose the priorities, resolve trade-offs, and accept the consequences.
