AI for Your Real Work

You all do incredibly hard work with limited resources. This tool isn't going to change what you do. But it might give you back time from the stuff that isn't your real work — so you can spend more on the stuff that is.

Mental Model

The 4D Framework

A mental model for working with AI effectively.

Delegation

What should AI handle?

Identify tasks where AI adds value — repetitive admin work, drafting, formatting, research. Keep human judgment for decisions that matter.

Description

How do I tell it what I need?

Good prompts have context, specifics, and format. Think of it as briefing a smart colleague — the more context you give, the better the output.

Discernment

Is the output good enough?

AI output is a first draft, not a final product. Read it critically. Check facts. Adjust tone. You're the editor, not the audience.

Diligence

Am I using this responsibly?

Know the boundaries. Protect client data. Review before sharing externally. When in doubt, check the traffic light card.
