02 / OUR INTERPRETATIONWhat it means for an assessment
Drafting can be a useful bounded pilot. Include review time, factual accuracy and the intended audience in the evaluation.
What needs caution
Incentivised exercises, not a complete business process. These percentages are not general savings assumptions.
A question to bring to the client case
Would drafting assistance improve an entire communication process? Examine how long staff spend preparing, checking and approving a document, and whether the result meets its audience and factual requirements. Time gained at drafting can be lost if review becomes more demanding.
