Type an order rule in plain English, answer the AI's question about the details it needs, inspect the complete proposed rule and save it deliberately as a draft.

## Plain English to a checked draft

1. **Load the current OrderRun draft**

   Load the current OrderRun draft

   Load the order routing policy from OrderRun. It sends recognised brackets to the Brighouse assembly shop after an engineering check and holds unknown customers.

2. **Choose to create a rule**

   Choose to create a rule

   Choose Create a rule, so the proposal covers both when the rule applies and what it does to the order.

3. **Type the requirement in plain English**

   Type the requirement in plain English

   Type the requirement as the team wrote it: hold BENCHCO orders that have no purchase-order reference.

4. **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 its own identifier and a name for the hold.

5. **Add the details the AI asked for**

   Add the details the AI asked for

   Keep the requirement and add the missing details: call the rule benchco-purchase-order-hold and name the hold purchase-order-required.

6. **Ask for the complete proposal**

   Ask for the complete proposal

   Ask again. The AI now returns a complete rule. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.

7. **Read the restatement of the rule**

   Read the restatement of the rule

   Read the restatement. It says in plain words when the rule applies: the customer code is BENCHCO and no purchase-order reference is present.

8. **Inspect the proposed condition**

   Inspect the proposed condition

   Inspect the condition in the same controls OrderRun uses: the customer code is BENCHCO, and no purchase-order reference is present.

9. **Check what will be saved**

   Check what will be saved

   Read what the rule will save, field by field, each value under its own name.

10. **Check the rule identifier and the hold**

   Check the rule identifier and the hold

   Check the identifier benchco-purchase-order-hold and the hold purchase-order-required, with no route, priority, check, extra approver or partial-delivery restriction.

11. **Confirm you checked the whole proposal**

   Confirm you checked the whole proposal

   Confirm that you checked the condition and every value. OrderRun still validates the whole policy when it saves.

12. **Save the proposal as a draft**

   Save the proposal as a draft

   Save the proposal as a draft. Saving does not approve, release or run the rule: expected results, proof and an independent review come next.
