A working manual, not another AI explainer.
Three principles shape every chapter, every template, and every workflow in the book.
Evidence-led
Every claim is sourced. Every workflow is field-tested with working professionals across research, law, healthcare and education.
Workflow-first
Not another AI explainer. Step-by-step procedures, decision trees and templates you can drop into Monday morning.
Built for judgement
Designed to sharpen — not replace — professional judgement. Verification, attribution and accountability are first-class concerns.
Six chapters. One coherent practice.
From first principles to team governance — each chapter ends with a practical exercise and a downloadable companion template.
- 01FoundationsWhat generative models are, what they aren't, and why it matters at work.
- 02The everyday workflowDrafting, summarising, structuring — without losing your voice.
- 03Research with AILiterature search, source triage and the discipline of citation.
- 04Verification & rigourThe verification loop, hallucination patterns, and §4.6 tools and templates.
- 05Working in teamsCollaborative drafting, prompt libraries and review workflows.
- 06Governance & ethicsDisclosure, attribution, IP, and how to set sane team policies.
"The verification loop is the difference between a tool that drafts for you and a tool that quietly drafts your reputation away."
Companion tools, included with every copy.
Beautifully designed templates to track search queries, sources, verification steps and decision rationales — in PDF, DOCX, XLSX and CSV.
From Chapter 4
Verification is not a step you bolt onto AI-assisted work after the fact. It is the work. When a draft arrives in seconds, the question shifts from can I produce this? to can I stand behind this? The answer is rarely binary, and almost never automatic. What follows is a set of routines — small, repeatable, and unglamorous — that turn a generated draft into something a careful professional can sign their name to.
Each routine has a template attached. None of them takes longer than the work they replace. All of them are designed to make your judgement more visible, not less.
Good questions.
