The AI Draft Reshape
A two-minute pass to run on anything AI-drafted before it carries your name.
AI can produce the words. Only you can produce the conviction. This tool will need refreshing as AI norms shift — treat it as a living page.
When to use it
- Every time AI drafts something that will represent your judgment
- Before sending — never after someone else has already read it
- Especially on anything going to a senior stakeholder
What it gives you
- A draft that sounds like a decision, not a summary
- Removal of the hedging language AI defaults to
- Speed without the credibility cost of sounding generic

The trap
Sending the first draft. Unedited AI output reads as competent but convictionless — reviewers can tell, and it reads as weaker leadership, not faster execution.
