Decision criteria

Use this checklist to decide if a documentation task is a good fit for LLM automation.

1) Source of truth

  • Do we have a trusted source (spec, code, API contract, approved docs)?
  • Can we enforce citation or traceability back to that source?

2) Risk and blast radius

  • What happens if the output is wrong?
  • Who is harmed (customer, support, compliance, security)?

3) Human review lane

  • Who reviews (writer, engineer, PM)?
  • What is the definition of “done” for that output?

4) Evaluation readiness

  • Can we define a rubric and test cases?
  • Can we measure improvements over time?
