Open **Chat model** and pick your own credential. To use another AI service, delete that node, add the service's chat model node, and connect it to the Model plug under every step and AI check.\n2. Open **Inputs** and paste your material into each field. Examples are filled in so you can try it first.\n3. Click **Execute workflow**.\n4. Open **Result** to read the answer, anything flagged, and the checks left for you.\n\n**Checks**\n- Check 1 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every quote in the Quote column appears word for word in the what happened. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 2 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every row of the table has one of \"went well\" or \"got in the way\" in the Effect column. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 3 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every row of the table has something written in \"Change to try\", \"Owner (a role)\" and \"How we will know\" (a blank or a dash does not count). If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 4 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): The answer includes the words \"Check this draft with the people who were there before you share it.\". If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 5 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every number in the answer also appears in the what happened. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 6 (a second AI prompt answers pass or fail): Read the review in the answer. Does any line name a person as the cause, say someone failed, forgot or should have done something, or guess at a person's reasons? Roles are fine when they only say who owns a change. Answer FAIL and quote each line that does. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 7 (a second AI prompt answers pass or fail): Compare each change in the answer with its cause in the sorted events below. Does each change answer the cause in its own row, and does it say what a person would do, rather than advice such as \"be more careful\" or \"plan better\"? Answer FAIL and quote each change that does not. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 8 (you check it by hand): Read the review with the people who were there. Ask each whether it matches what they remember and whether any line reads as blame, and change any line they dispute before you share it. Only they know what the notes left out. If it fails: flag it and carry on.\n\nFrom Logic Lab (logiclabhq.com).
