The outcome
Create a concise brief that can be traced back to the source.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Provide the documents with a sentence explaining their origin, audience, and relationship to one another.
- 02
Ask Claude to map the documents first: sections, claims, evidence, contradictions, and missing context.
- 03
Define the brief's reader, length, decision, and required headings.
- 04
Request source references for each key conclusion and a separate list of inferences.
- 05
Review the decisive passages, then ask Claude to revise only the claims your review changed.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Ask for an outline before prose.
- Keep quotations short and traceable.
- Do not combine unrelated source sets in one thread.
