AF / FIELD NOTESEvery step,
clear boundaries.

Separate drafting from action

Drafting content and sending it to a customer are different actions. A draft is usually easy to revise; sending it affects a real relationship. Design preparation and external action as separate steps in the workflow.

For example, a marketing agent can organise product benefits, suggest a structure and draft copy. A responsible person then checks the facts, tone and commitments before publication.

Give reviewers enough context

A Confirm button alone is rarely enough for an informed decision. The review screen should show the original goal, the materials used, the result and what will happen next.

If the output relies on assumptions, show them. Reviewers need to know what they are confirming, rather than simply approving a block of text.

Create a path for revisions

A rejected draft is a normal outcome. The workflow should return to the relevant step, preserve the feedback and ensure the next version addresses it.

Define three review outcomes: approved, changes needed and insufficient information. Give each outcome a clear next step to reduce unnecessary back-and-forth.

Expand from a limited scope

Start by leaving all external actions to people. Once task boundaries and output quality are clear, consider which steps are suitable for system integration.

Design responsibilities, permissions and review practices alongside capabilities. The level of automation can increase gradually, but responsibility for the goal and final result still needs to be clear.

Try it yourself

Choose a task with clear boundaries. Understand the workflow, then refine it step by step.
