Amplified work
Amplification is not adding AI everywhere: improve one task without losing judgment or accountability.

Key points
- Start from a concrete outcome.
- Keep a manual path.
- Application

- Connect to the next resource
- Take the brief into the workflow map.
From effort to design
Before accelerating, draw the current sequence and define a useful improvement signal.
Go deeperSee your work
Key points
- Separate activity from outcome.
- Design before optimizing.
- Application
- Map request to delivery and mark one quality signal.
- Check your understanding
- What will you observe besides feeling faster?
- Short practice
- Sketch five steps and circle the bottleneck.
- Keep this idea
- Speed without a standard only moves friction.
- Connect to the next resource
- Use the map to observe friction.
Protect your attention
Record interruptions, waiting, and rework as facts; do not assign unchecked causes.

Key points
- Observe moments, not labels.
- Separate signal from explanation.
- Application
- Log waiting, repetition, and lost context in one case.
- Check your understanding
- What did you see, and what are you assuming?
- Short practice
- Record three frictions without causes.
- Keep this idea
- Visible friction can be redesigned.
- Connect to the next resource
- Turn findings into criteria.
Intention before intensity
Write purpose, recipient, and definition of done before requesting a draft.
Go deeperSee your work
Key points
- State the reason.
- Set acceptance criteria.
- Application
- Write what you will deliver, for whom, and how done is known.
- Check your understanding
- Could you reject a weak draft?
- Short practice
- Write two completion checks.
- Keep this idea
- Intention governs assistance.
- Connect to the next resource
- Use the standard to classify steps.
Rethink manual friction
Classify each step as human judgment, assisted preparation, or manual work worth redesigning.
Go deeperDesign with judgment
Key points
- Do not automate by reflex.
- Prioritize repeated friction.
- Application
- Mark one judgment step and one step AI may prepare.
- Check your understanding
- Which step would you never delegate?
- Short practice
- Reclassify one step you wanted to automate.
- Keep this idea
- Redesign one decision at a time.
- Connect to the next resource
- Take the classification into the Mini-SOP.
Define the standard
A standard states inputs, steps, sources, review, output, exceptions, and when to stop.
Go deeperDesign with judgment
Key points
- Criteria must be checkable.
- Boundaries belong in the procedure.
- Application
- Draft your first Mini-SOP.
- Check your understanding
- Which missing input requires stopping?
- Short practice
- Complete input, output, review, and exception.
- Keep this idea
- Explicit work can be tested with control.
- Connect to the next resource
- Submit the draft to review.
Mandatory human review
Place human review before a relevant decision, delivery, or effect.
Go deeperDesign with judgment
Key points
- Review is not blind approval.
- A person remains accountable.
- Application
- Define where you review sources, context, and consequences.
- Check your understanding
- What must you review before using the output?
- Short practice
- Add a review pause.
- Keep this idea
- Control happens before the consequence.
- Connect to the next resource
- Split human–AI contributions.
The human–AI pair
Keep direction and decisions human; use AI to explore, organize, and prepare.
Go deeperDesign with judgment
Key points
- Split contributions clearly.
- Do not confuse fluency with validity.
- Application
- Complete «I decide / AI prepares / I verify».
- Check your understanding
- Where does your decision begin?
- Short practice
- Assign a verb to each contribution.
- Keep this idea
- Visible roles improve collaboration.
- Connect to the next resource
- Record failures before testing.
What each party contributes
Document contributions, foreseeable failures, and recovery without depending on AI.
Go deeperTest and transfer
Key points
- Include a recovery path.
- Keep an operable alternative.
- Application
- Add a likely failure and manual recovery.
- Check your understanding
- How would you continue without AI?
- Short practice
- Rehearse manual recovery.
- Keep this idea
- A robust workflow explains how to stop safely and recover from failure.
- Connect to the next resource
- Add the contingency to the plan.
Orchestrate without surrendering judgment
Orchestrate request, draft, comparison, correction, and human approval.
Go deeperTest and transfer
Key points
- Every step leaves evidence.
- Approval has an owner.
- Application
- Rehearse with a low-risk case.
- Check your understanding
- Which record proves each decision?
- Short practice
- Run one cycle and retain inputs.
- Keep this idea
- Coordination makes decisions traceable.
- Connect to the next resource
- Take the log into the PASA gate.
The PASA cycle
Apply PASA: plan, accelerate a bounded task, systematize what was tested, and amplify what is stable.
Go deeperTest and transfer
Key points
- Do not jump from experiment to scale.
- Version tested work.
- Application
- Locate the test in PASA; stop if evidence is missing.
- Check your understanding
- What must stabilize?
- Short practice
- Name the stage and gate.
- Keep this idea
- Amplification follows the test.
- Connect to the next resource
- Prepare the AAR.
Become the standard
Close with an AAR, record exceptions, and test the version in another case.
Go deeperTest and transfer
Key points
- Compare expectation and result.
- Change only what evidence supports.
- Application
- Repeat in another comparable task.
- Check your understanding
- Did the second test preserve quality?
- Short practice
- Write an AAR and authorize one change.
- Keep this idea
- Transfer requires another check.
- Connect to the next resource
- Transfer only the supported version.
