Start with bounded work
Choose one familiar task, one agreed source format, and one draft output. Write down what is outside the task before introducing automation. A draft of a record is not permission to update a business system.
Keep the source beside the draft
For each proposed value, preserve the source passage and its location. Separate an explicit statement from an interpretation. If a source is missing or contradictory, leave the value unresolved rather than filling the gap with a plausible answer.
Make correction part of human review
A reviewer compares the draft with its source, corrects ambiguous fields, and records why a change was needed. Approval and rejection are distinct decisions. Review must happen before the output is used; a confident-looking draft does not replace accountability.
Stop and return to a manual path
Stop when the format is unsupported, evidence conflicts, or the reviewer cannot resolve a value. Keep the original available and hand the task back for manual entry or clarification. A useful boundary lets a person finish the work without depending on the preview.
Synthetic workflow example Invented source: delivery window is unclear Draft: delivery window unresolved → source passage attached Human review: request clarification → correct or reject Stop: no clarification → manual follow-up, no automatic update
