Reporting & communication

Turning findings into a report, a briefing, a slide deck, or a community-facing summary. This is where AI is fastest, and where verification matters most, because a confident wrong sentence can undo months of careful work.

Where AI fits

AI drafts sections, humanises the tone, transcribes interviews, and produces illustrations. Every claim must then be labelled evidence or inference, checked against its source, and recorded in a proof table.

1

Assemble the sources

One folder, with the version of each document noted.

2

Draft section by section

Never ask for the whole report at once.

3

Label and verify

Mark evidence and inference; check every figure and citation.

4

Humanise

Remove the tell-tale machine phrasing, without changing a fact.

5

Sign off

Attach a short AI note and a named reviewer.
