Review questions
From need to generative specification
Professional practice starts with a task card: who uses the output, which decision it supports, what input is permitted and what output is acceptable. Success remains bounded by what was tested; a good draft register does not prove better follow-up. The specialist then distinguishes deterministic rules, retrieval and generative wording, combining them only when the task requires it. Context is a limited resource, and text being present does not guarantee correct use. Before prompt refinement, the specialist marks what may be invented, what must remain grounded and what must be reported as unknown. The result is a checkable specification rather than an open rhetorical request.
