Quick answer
This is an execution playbook for Course Creation: ordered steps, tool handoffs, and QA gates so output is shippable—not a single mega-chat. It works best when one person owns each handoff and “done” is written down.
This works best when you treat the workflow like a checklist, not inspiration. Skipping the QA step is the fastest way to scale mistakes; the steps here are ordered so cheap failures happen early.
How to read this page
What this is actually good for
When to use this page:
- You want explicit steps and handoffs for Course Creation instead of one long chat thread.
- You will name owners for research, drafting, QA, and publishing.
- You are turning experiments into a routine your team can repeat weekly.
When NOT to use this
- You need certified legal, medical, or financial advice without a qualified professional.
- You expect guaranteed factual accuracy without verifying sources yourself.
- You want fully automated production with zero human judgment or policy checks.
Real use case
A team working on Course Creation needs a published playbook so new members do not reinvent steps or skip QA.
Step-by-step usage (workflow example)
- Walk the steps in order—do not skip the QA handoff.
- Log inputs and outputs so you can debug failure points quickly.
- Swap tools only when a step is clearly the bottleneck.
- Publish the variant that passes review twice in a row.
Mistakes to avoid
- Letting steps blur together so nobody owns QA—name a reviewer before you run step one.
- Swapping tools mid-flight without rerunning the handoff checklist—weak inputs to step three waste the whole run.
- Declaring victory on the first good output—run the workflow twice on different inputs before you standardize it.
Pro tips
- Timebox each step; if a step routinely runs long, your inputs are underspecified—not the model.
- Log one failure per run for a month; you will see whether the bottleneck is tools, prompts, or approvals.
- Publish the workflow where new hires already look (Notion/wiki) so it survives team churn.
