Outside-counsel invoice questions
When a law firm’s invoice arrives, legal operations has one worksheet ready: every line set against the agreed rates, the approved matter budget and the company’s own billing guidelines, each difference written as a neutral question for the firm. Nothing is sent, paid or rejected until people decide.

Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.

Presentation outline and talk track
Anyone presenting to a board, a client or a conference gets a storyboard built on one message, then a spoken script for every slide, timed to the slot and true to their own speaker notes. Every fact comes from what the presenter supplied, and the presenter approves the message and the words.

Privilege log entry check
Before a draft privilege log goes to review counsel, the paralegal gets an entry-by-entry check against counsel’s approved format and role map, and a list of logged documents’ attachments with no entry. It checks metadata only: review counsel makes every privilege call and writes or approves every description.

Quality management review pack
Before the periodic quality review, the quality lead gets one brief for senior leaders: where each measure stands, complaints and defects, audit findings, action status, and the decisions still open. The leaders decide; the brief claims no compliance with any standard.

Research plan for counsel
Before an associate or paralegal starts on a partner's research question, they hold a one-to-two-page plan: the question split into sub-questions, the stated facts against each, the firm's own notes to read first, where to search and with what terms, and the gaps. Leads, not authorities: nothing is named from memory.

Research summary brief
An executive handed a pile of reports, articles or papers gets one brief: what each source found, where the sources agree and disagree, the limits of each, and exact quotations cited to the page. Built only from the documents supplied. What it means for the business stays the reader's call.

Thirteen-week cash flow forecast
The owner sees cash week by week for the next thirteen weeks: what comes in, what goes out, the lowest point and every week below the floor they set, with each assumption written on the page. The forecast informs the decision; the owner makes it, and nothing is paid or moved.

Usability test session plan
Before a prototype or a confusing flow goes in front of users, the research lead and product owner hold one plan: who to recruit, the tasks in plain words, the neutral prompts, a blank note sheet and how success is counted. Recording and data handling are listed as decisions.

User research plan
When a design decision needs user evidence, the research lead gets one study plan: what the team needs to know, what evidence already exists, method options with their hours, participant criteria, permissions needed, how answers will be read and what the study cannot establish.

Weekly owner business brief
Each Monday the owner gets about one page built from the exports they supply: cash, last week's sales against the week before, pipeline movement, the week's commitments and a watch list, with one item to look at first. Every figure names its source, and every missing export is named.

Weekly status requests to outside counsel
Every Monday, in-house counsel has a draft status request for each outside firm that owes one: what has happened since the last update, the dates on record to confirm, decisions pending and spend against budget, plus the matters skipped and why. Counsel edits and sends each one.

Workflow fit check: is this piece of work ready for AI?
Before you build anything, run one piece of work through six checks and get a straight answer on one short page: build it, build one part, do something simpler first, not yet, or leave it with your people. The owner decides what gets built first, with the reasons in front of them.
