Hello,

An answer used to be evidence of expertise. Now a convincing answer is available in seconds. The professional challenge is moving: from producing a response to knowing whether it deserves to be trusted.

01 / THE SELECTION

Your judgement is part of the work.

Think of an AI-generated project recommendation. It may be clear, structured and persuasive. Yet it may miss the constraint that matters most: the team cannot maintain the proposed solution, the data is incomplete, or the customer needs reliability more than novelty.

Experience helps you see what the prompt left out. Its value becomes visible when you turn that experience into explicit checks: assumptions, evidence, constraints and consequences.

02 / THE QUESTION

What do you notice that a plausible answer can hide?

Choose a recent recommendation you reviewed. Which detail made you pause? That hesitation may reveal an important part of your expertise.

03 / THE NEXT STEP

Make one acceptance rule explicit.

This week, take one task you already do with AI. Before generating an answer, write down three criteria it must satisfy. Review the result against those criteria. Add one check suggested by your experience.

The aim is a better decision — with a clearer account of why you trust it.

Until next week,
Giuseppe
