Academy

Before AI touches your workflows, someone needs to own them.

Tai Miranda - Co-founder, Legalboards

Two failure modes

Both are invisible until something goes wrong.

Unclear ownership

Work lives in the team, so nobody catches what AI invented.

Shallow AI context

Output sounds polished, but the brief behind it was incomplete.

Recognition

You have already seen this happen.

An AI draft moved forward before facts were verified.

A timeline generated by AI was sent to a client as if confirmed.

Junior staff used AI output that sounded right but was not reviewed deeply.

A summary used stale data and the wrong number reached a demand letter.

The framework

The OWNED Framework

Five fields. Every workflow. Every prompt.

O
Owner named

One person owns it. Not a role.

W
What done looks like

Specific, observable, and dated.

N
Next owner

Handoff is explicit, or work stalls.

E
Evidence verified

Confirmed inputs, not assumptions.

D
Depth defined

AI output matches prompt depth.

Structured Prompt

Every field maps to a verified OWNED step.

PARALEGAL PROMPT - DEMAND LETTER Use only verified facts below. Do not invent information. Flag any gap before generating output. [E - Evidence verified] Matter: CLIENT_A v INSURER_A Confirmed injuries: cervical strain, lumbar strain Total medical expenses: [AMOUNT_1] Demand amount: [AMOUNT_3], approved [DATE_3] [D - Depth defined] Tone: professional, factual, concise No assumptions. No unsupported legal conclusions.

Three golden rules

If you only remember three things from today.

Never paste real client names

Use CLIENT_A, OPPOSING_A, INSURER_A.

Never upload original documents

Extract verified facts and paste text only.

Know your AI plan

Use enterprise controls where data protection is required.
