Good examples
  • Summarize sanitized incident logs into an action note.
  • Turn meeting notes into decisions and follow-ups.
  • Answer questions from one controlled folder of internal documents.
Avoid vague scope
  • Build a general AI assistant.
  • Automate support completely.
  • Understand all company knowledge.
Deliverable

Write one scope card. If you cannot test whether the output is good, narrow the use case again.

LEARNING CHECKPOINT

Capture the deliverable before moving on.

Use-case scope card is your evidence that this lesson has been applied, not just read.
