A polished AI-generated answer can make a work task feel finished before the important questions have been answered. The Human Check gives knowledge workers a practical, vendor-neutral way to frame the task, bound the context, verify what matters, and own the final decision. It uses transparent composite workplace examples to show how to inspect AI-assisted drafts, summaries, analysis, and recommendations without treating fluent output as approved, sourced, or final. The Frame-Bound-Verify-Own method helps you use generative AI for useful assistance while keeping human judgment attached to the work.
