Foundations & judgement1

T01-L02Check AI Output Before Your Team Relies on ItA corrected team deliverable (a brief, a summary, an FAQ or a caption) with a check note: source title, version and date, each material claim with its quote and location or marked unknown, and any arithmetic written out. It passes when a colleague traces three claims you didn't pick to the source without asking you.Power user15 min read

Chat & assistants1

T02-L02Set Up Projects a Colleague Can Pick UpA project for one real team job, with instructions, source files and a dated decisions file whose master copies sit in a shared folder, and a colleague's continuation in a fresh chat. It passes when the continuation follows the current decision, not an old one, and the colleague needed nothing from you beyond the project and its folder.Power user15 min read

Prompting & context1

T03-L02Build a Context Packet Your Team Can RerunA context packet for one real team question: the fixed prompt, the question, the labelled sources with versions and the exact quotes the answer rests on, plus a before and after run showing which source made the difference. It passes when a colleague reruns the packet in a fresh chat and gets the same answer with the same quotes.Power user15 min read

Your documents & knowledge1

T04-L02Curate a Document Set Your Team Can AskA shared document set with its written rule and source register, answering three test questions (a current rule, an exception, and one the set can't answer) with citations that open to the right passage, plus one answer a colleague has used in real work. It passes when every document in the set appears in the register as current and a colleague can find the person who keeps it current.Power user15 min read

Automation1

T05-L02Put AI in the Middle of a Workflow, and Check Every AnswerA published n8n workflow with a model step, a check step, a shared review table and, if anything leaves the team, an approval step; plus a one-page note naming the reviewer and deputy, the monthly cost estimate and the spend limit. It passes when a colleague feeds in one normal item and one broken answer and the broken one lands in the review table, not in the team's list.Power user13 min read

Build apps1

T06-L02Build a Small Shared Tool From a Prompt, and Test It With a ColleagueA live Base44 app used by at least one colleague, plus a half-page note: the screens and fields, the access and permission settings as set, the colleague's test with one allowed and one refused action, the CSV export opened in a spreadsheet, and the account holder and deputy. It passes when a signed-out visitor sees no data and the colleague's test matches the note.Power user15 min read

Agents1

T07-L02Hand a Task to an Agent, and Check What It DidThe finished table or brief, plus a half-page delegation note: the card as given, the folder used, what the agent did and where you stepped in, your spot checks and the colleague's, and who signed it off. It passes when every value in the result names its source file, and the colleague's blind check of five values finds them all in the sources.Power user15 min read

Write code1

T08-L02Get a Script Your Colleague Can Rerun, Without Being a DeveloperA shared Git repository with the script, a README, a known-answer test file and its expected output; it passes when a colleague, on their own computer and using only the README, gets exactly the expected output from the test file, and gets a clear refusal with a line number from one broken row.Power user18 min read

T10-L02Clean a Messy Export Once, So Your Team Can Refresh ItA shared workbook that cleans the export with recorded steps, plus its rules sheet and check block, refreshed on a second month's file by a colleague; it passes when rows in equal clean rows plus flagged rows plus removed duplicates, and the colleague explains one flagged row from the workbook alone.Power user17 min read

Run your own AI1

T11-L02A Local Model Your Tools Can CallOne tool installed through Heidelberg AI Desk (Open WebUI or n8n) that gets its answers from LM Studio's local server, plus a check sheet of five examples with known answers; it passes when all five come out right with the network switched off, and your three lines name the address, the model and the task.Power user15 min read

Security, privacy & governance1

T12-L02Clean the Copy, Label the Result, Spot the TrapA cleaned working copy for one real team task, with a method note and an AI-use note. It passes when a second reader who hasn't seen the original can't single anyone out, one result the task needs (a count, a grouping) comes out the same from the copy as from the original, and the AI-use note is still attached in the document where the result ended up.Power user15 min read

Adoption & enablement1

T13-L02Show a Colleague AI on Their Own Task, in 30 MinutesA one-page demo record from a session with a real colleague: their task, the material and tool, the timed draft and check, the change they requested, the objection raised, and their own choice; it passes when the session took 30 minutes or less, the result was checked in front of them, and the choice is in their words.Power user14 min read

Connect your tools1

T14-L02Brief Your Team From the Shared Drive, Through a ConnectorA brief built through the connector, plus a short note: the site or folder you scoped it to, the list of cited files with their dates, which of them the recipient can open, what you corrected, and how you switched the connector off. It passes when the recipient opens three cited files at random and finds each claim, and no cited file is one they can't open.Power user14 min read

AI in research1

T15-L02Record an AI Step So a Co-Author Can Rerun ItA shared folder for one AI-assisted step (input with checksum, prompt version, run record, raw outputs of at least two runs, comparison) plus a co-author's rerun from the folder alone; it passes when the co-author's rerun is compared on the rule you set beforehand and the Methods sentence states the agreement and what couldn't be fixed.Power user16 min read

AI for lab data1

T18-L02Predict a Protein Structure and Read Its Confidence HonestlyOne AlphaFold Server prediction with its downloaded files and a written confidence note (confident regions, relative positions, interface scores, one cross-check, what it can't tell you); it passes when a labmate opens the same files and agrees with every claim in the note.Power user16 min read
