Your state
Why it matters.
AI assistants are the most powerful drafting tool most people have ever held — and a confident liar when unverified. Skill with them is now a workplace basic.
The component skills.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
One real task, start to verified ~30 min
Pick a real task (a draft email, a summary, a plan). Get the AI assistant's help, then verify every factual claim it made before you use it. Record what was wrong.
Artifact: The task + your verification notes
The never-paste list ~15 min
Write your personal red-line list: what data never goes into an AI tool (client names? ID numbers? drafts under NDA?). Keep it where you'll see it.
Artifact: Your never-paste list
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in Lifelong Careers members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.

Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — AI assistants make confident mistakes — anything consequential (legal, medical, financial) needs a human professional, and confidential data must never be pasted in.
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
