A first-draft agreement that saves the lawyer time instead of replacing them
Arriving at counsel with a structured draft and a list of open questions costs less and teaches more than arriving with nothing — or with a signed template.
Business Management (BUS)
Business students can now generate a plausible ten-page analysis in twenty minutes, which means assembly is no longer the scarce skill. The assignments that still teach something put the verification, not the production, at the center.
Workflows
How people actually chain these tools together to get something done.
A market analysis where every number gets traced back
Use AI to assemble a competitor and market picture fast, then make the verification of each figure the graded work.
Customer discovery: AI writes the interview guide, real humans give the findings
Every claim in the final memo has to point to a line in a real transcript with a real person's initials and a date.
Keeping field notes next to the numbers
Your dashboard knows the fill rate. It does not know that the room was freezing and half the class had no textbook. Put both in the same table.
Making a decade of program data answer one question
You already have ten years of enrollment, scheduling and outcome records. The problem was never collecting them. It was asking them anything.
Building a working thing you could not build alone, then making it live
Specify it, make the assistant plan it, build the smallest version that runs, then find and describe exactly what is broken. The defect log is the skill; the artifact is…
Does the AI recommend our client? An AI-visibility audit for a real local business
Baseline where a client appears across assistants, diagnose why competitors get cited instead, ship one change, and re-measure the same way.
Finding the handful of words that define what you do
Years of outside feedback contain a signature you cannot see from inside. Pull the recurring vocabulary, cut it to six words, and use it.
Redlining against a playbook: when the AI's issue is not your client's issue
Build the playbook first, review a real contract against it, then defend the redlines — because the skill is materiality judgment, not clause spotting.
The intake summary that stays on the paralegal side of the line
A mock intake, an AI summary, and then the part nobody teaches: reconciling it against what was actually said and flagging issues without answering them.
