EXERCISE: FROM NOTES TO ACTIONS
Fictional teaching fixture for JD Teach AI, September 22, 2026.
No client data and no measured productivity result.

PROCESS SHEET
Input: the three notes below.
Output: a table of active actions and a list of details to confirm.
Review: a person familiar with the context checks each row.
No tasks, messages or appointments are created automatically.

TEST FIXTURE
[N1] Camille prepares the mockup before September 25, 2026.
[N2] Alex checks the links. The date is to be agreed.
[N3] The publication planned for September 24, 2026 is cancelled.

COPYABLE INSTRUCTION
Using only notes N1 to N3, extract the active actions.
Columns: action, owner, deadline, source.
Do not invent an owner or date. Write "to confirm" when a date is missing.
Exclude cancelled actions. Keep the source identifier and source sentence.
End with the details to confirm. Do not trigger any external action.

MANUALLY WRITTEN REFERENCE
N1 | Prepare the mockup | Camille | 2026-09-25
Source: Camille prepares the mockup before September 25, 2026.
N2 | Check the links | Alex | to confirm
Source: Alex checks the links. The date is to be agreed.
N3 is excluded because it is cancelled. Confirm the link-checking date.

VERIFICATION RUBRIC
[ ] Exactly two active actions; no cancelled row.
[ ] Camille and Alex linked to their respective actions.
[ ] Correct N1 deadline; no invented deadline for N2.
[ ] Accurate source identifiers and source sentences.
[ ] N2 deadline explicitly marked for confirmation.
An invented date, cancelled action or missing action blocks acceptance.

BEFORE / AFTER EXERCISE
1. Extract the actions manually; optionally time yourself.
2. Give the same fixture and instruction to your assistant.
3. Check its output with the rubric; record corrections and review time.
4. Change the N1 deadline and make N3 active; update the reference and rerun.
5. Ask another person to repeat the exercise using only this worksheet.
Blank log: date | displayed tool/model | run | extraction time |
correction time | errors | human approval.
A three-note exercise is not a measurement of business time savings.
