Type a keep rule in plain English, answer the AI’s question about missing details, inspect the complete proposed rule and save it deliberately as a draft.

## Plain English to a checked draft

1. **Load the current remnant policy**

   Load the current remnant policy

   Load the remnant policy from RemnantRack. It keeps sound pieces from 450 mm in the aluminium rack and has no rules yet.

2. **Choose Create a rule**

   Choose Create a rule

   Choose Create a rule. The policy settings stay as they are; the new rule is added to them.

3. **Choose the registration stage**

   Choose the registration stage

   Choose registration. A registration rule decides whether a newly registered piece is kept in an approved rack, sent for disposal review or quarantined.

4. **Load the registration rule controls**

   Load the registration rule controls

   Load the controls for a new registration rule.

5. **Choose Create a registration rule**

   Choose Create a registration rule

   Choose Create a registration rule as the change to describe.

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

   Type the requirement in plain English

   Type the requirement as the workshop wrote it: keep material A17 when its guaranteed length is at least 500 mm, putting it in the aluminium rack, and send shorter A17 pieces for disposal review.

7. **Ask for a proposal**

   Ask for a proposal

   Ask for a proposal. The AI replies with a question instead of guessing: which material code is A17, which one outcome the rule should give, and its key, precedence and description.

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

   Add the details the AI asked for

   Keep the requirement and answer the question: A17 is material 000017. The policy already keeps pieces from 450 mm in the aluminium rack, so this rule sends A17 pieces with less than 500 mm guaranteed for disposal review, with the key a17_under_500 and precedence 10.

9. **Ask for the complete proposal**

   Ask for the complete proposal

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

10. **Read the restatement of the rule**

   Read the restatement of the rule

   Read the restatement: when the material code is 000017 and the guaranteed length is less than 500 mm, create a registration rule. What will be saved follows it.

11. **Inspect the proposed condition**

   Inspect the proposed condition

   Inspect the condition in the same controls RemnantRack uses: material code is 000017, and guaranteed length is less than 500000000 nanometres, which is 500 mm.

12. **Check what will be saved**

   Check what will be saved

   Read what the rule will save, field by field. Every value has its name, and the outcome is shown in plain words with its code.

13. **Check the rule key and precedence**

   Check the rule key and precedence

   Check the rule key is a17_under_500, with precedence 10 and the description the answer gave.

14. **Check the disposal review outcome**

   Check the disposal review outcome

   Check the outcome: send for disposal review. Longer A17 pieces still meet the policy’s keep length and stay in the aluminium rack.

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

   Confirm you checked the whole proposal

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

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

   Save the proposal as a draft

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

Only a draft was saved. Expected results, the proof and an independent review come next.
