Plain English to a checked draft
- Load the current CheckStation plan
Load the current CheckStation plan
Load the BR-200 final inspection plan from CheckStation. Its expected results already ask for the bracket width check for newly approved suppliers, but no rule adds that check yet.
- Choose Add a conditional inspection rule
Choose Add a conditional inspection rule
Choose Add a conditional inspection rule, so the proposal covers both when the rule applies and which checks it adds.
- Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement as the team wrote it: for newly approved suppliers, also require the approved bracket width check.
- Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal. The AI replies with a question instead of guessing: a new rule needs an identifier and a yes or no for supervisor release.
- Add the details the AI asked for
Add the details the AI asked for
Keep the requirement and answer the question: a supervisor must also release those units, and the rule is called new-supplier.
- Ask for the complete proposal
Ask for the complete proposal
Ask again. The AI now returns a complete inspection rule. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.
- Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement. When the supplier status is newly approved, the rule adds its checks and supervisor decision, followed by every value it would save.
- Inspect the proposed condition
Inspect the proposed condition
Open the condition in the same controls CheckStation uses: the supplier status is Newly approved.
- Check the approved bracket width check
Check the approved bracket width check
Check the checks the rule adds: only the approved bracket width check, revision width-v1. The rule is called new-supplier.
- Check that supervisor release is required
Check that supervisor release is required
Check that a supervisor must review units when this rule matches, as you asked.
- Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm that you checked the condition and every value. CheckStation still validates the whole plan when it saves.
- Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft. The plan moves to revision 2. Saving does not approve, release or run the rule: the expected results, proof and an independent review come next.
Only a draft was saved. The expected results, the native proof and an independent review come next.
