A Bronze Pack From One Policy Page
The idea
A worked example, constructed for this course, seeds a Bronze pack for a simple object, an equipment loan at a university library, starting from a single page of policy.
In practice
The library's one-page policy says students may borrow laptops for up to seven days, must show a student card, are charged for late returns, and lose borrowing rights after three late returns in a term. The service manager pastes the policy into the library's approved AI tool with the Bronze template and the instruction to use only what the policy states and to list anything unclear as an open question. The draft comes back in five parts: a header, a two-sentence purpose, a definition of one loan as one item lent to one person for one period, a field list and a small action index. It has three problems. It adds a deposit-amount field, though the policy mentions no deposit. It marks the return date as optional, though the policy implies every loan has one. And its open questions are useful: does a renewal count as a new loan, and does a late return still count if the fee is waived? The manager deletes the invented field, marks the return date required, takes the two questions to the head of access services, adds the answers, names herself as steward, and dates it as version one. The finished seed is less than a page long and took under an hour.
Where people slip
The draft saved most of the writing and produced two good questions the manager had not thought to ask. It also invented a field and got one requirement wrong, both of which would have reached the loan system if the pack had been trusted as written. The method's pattern, draft and then edit as editor-in-chief, held up on even the simplest object.
