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 row of the table has one of \"chosen\", \"ruled out\" or \"not clear\" in the Outcome column. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 2 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every quote in the Quote column appears word for word in the notes from the discussion. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 3 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): The answer is no longer than 170 words. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 4 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): Every number in the answer also appears in the notes from the discussion. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 5 (a plain rule, run automatically with no AI): The answer includes the words \"Ask the person who decided to confirm this before you file it.\". If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 6 (a second AI prompt answers pass or fail): Compare the record with the options table below. Is every option marked \"ruled out\" named in the record, each with the reason the table gives, and is every option marked \"not clear\" listed under \"Not in the notes\"? Answer FAIL and name each option that is missing or has a different reason. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 7 (a second AI prompt answers pass or fail): Read the \"Why\" and \"Ruled out\" sections. Does any line give a reason the notes do not give, or name who decided, or give a date, when the notes do not? Answer FAIL and quote each line that does. If it fails: try once more, then flag.\n- Check 8 (you check it by hand): Show the record to the person who made the decision. Ask whether it says what they decided and why, and whether any ruled-out option is shown unfairly. Only they know what they meant. If it fails: flag it and carry on.\n\nFrom Logic Lab (logiclabhq.com).
