Decide what you are reviewing for
A general summary may miss the detail that matters. Before sharing a document, write the question: missing delivery terms, inconsistent product names, unresolved responsibilities or incomplete requirements. Check that you are permitted to upload the material and remove confidential information that is unnecessary for the review.
Work in defined passes
First request an outline. Next ask targeted questions about the sections relevant to your decision. Finally ask for inconsistencies and missing information. Keeping these passes separate makes it easier to identify where an answer came from. Avoid asking for an exhaustive review, a rewrite and a recommendation in one unstructured instruction.
Require references you can inspect
Ask for section headings or page references where available, plus a short explanation of each finding. Verify the reference in the original document. If a scanned file has unclear text, do not treat an apparently precise quotation as reliable without checking the image. A document workflow needs an uncertainty path as well as an answer path.
Use a procurement scenario
For a supplier proposal, build a review table covering scope, exclusions, delivery assumptions, warranty and outstanding questions. Do not ask the assistant to invent absent terms. A blank field marked “not found” is more useful than an unsupported interpretation. Keep commercial decisions with the person responsible for the purchase.
Produce an actionable review
End with a short list of questions to send back to the document owner and the sections needing human review. Preserve the original file and label revisions clearly. Claude can assist with organizing the review, while the acceptance decision should rest on verified source material and the relevant professional judgment.
