How it is marked

Your work is marked on six areas on Value and Control. Your result gives written observations that quote your own words.

Using the assistant to produce work beyond what you could have produced alone, rather than the same work faster.
Briefing the assistant
Giving the assistant the reader, purpose and source facts the work depends on, and the form, length and contents you need back.
The finished piece
Turning the assistant's output into something a colleague could use: editing it, combining it and adding original thinking.
Checking its work
Checking the assistant's claims, figures and assumptions against the source before the work is used.
Safety and confidentiality
Handling confidential and personal data, seeing compliance, ethical and reputational risk, and declining unsafe requests.
Knowing what to delegate
Deciding what to hand to the assistant and what to keep, and at what stakes, before any output exists.
