  • This is exactly what we need as we navigate AI adoption. Rather than focusing on what AI can't do, this frames it around augmenting our expertise and judgment. The three prompts are actionable—I'm already thinking about how to apply the "charge & evidence mapping" approach to case analysis. Appreciate the nuance here.
