Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. You have the readings from a pressure test on a new pipe section. Which part can AI draft for you?
Engineers write the same kinds of documents again and again: test reports, method statements (the written plan for how a job is done, step by step), site reports and inspection records. Most of the words repeat. AI is good at the repeated part.
What it can't know is what happened on your site. So let it draft the frame, and keep the readings, the result and the signature in your hands.
A worked example
A prompt is the message you type to the AI. This one drafts a test report and leaves the result to you:
Draft a test report for the pressure test on the new pipe section.
Use these headings: Purpose, Equipment, Method, Readings, Result, Notes.
Use only the readings I give you, in the unit I give them.
If a value is missing, write "missing" in its place.
Don't write a pass or fail result. I'll add that myself.
Readings: test pressure 10.5 bar, held for 30 minutes, no drop on gauge G-4.Your turn
Fill the gaps
Fill each gap in the same prompt.
