THE CLINICAL DESK

Three habits worth carrying into every AI conversation.

  1. 01Begin with the task. Map input, reviewer, destination, and consequence before picking a tool.
  2. 02Keep uncertainty visible. Fluent language is not evidence or complete context.
  3. 03Design the human step. Name who reviews, against what, and how they reject.
