Readiness gate
You are ready only when the reasoning trail is visible
- Human observation appears before AI output.
- AI output is accepted, adapted, and rejected with reasons.
- The final decision names user task, visible evidence, tradeoff, and uncertainty.
Weak versus strong

AI curation
Weak
AI critique is copied because it sounds polished.
Strong
One accepted, adapted, and rejected AI point is explained with evidence.
Decision
Weak
The artifact ends with a broad redesign idea or taste opinion.
Strong
One scoped product/design move is tied to the user task, evidence, and tradeoff.
