You need to draft a job update from the crew notes. Keep questions and approvals visible before staff take the next step. ## What you need before you start - Crew notes - Current job file - Approved update rules - Current approved schedule ## Write these rules down first - Use crew notes for documented progress. - Use the current schedule for confirmed dates. - Name the job owner who resolves conflicting notes. ## What to tell the assistant ```text Read the crew notes. Read the current job file. Read the approved update rules. Read the current approved schedule. Draft documented work, open access questions, and the next confirmed office step. Use dates only when the approved schedule supplies them. Do not infer completion, approve site conditions, or promise work can start. Leave conflicting notes for the job owner. Use only these files for this job. Mark missing information. Do not guess. Leave the draft for staff to check. Do not send, publish, or change the source files. ``` ## Check before it goes out - Is completed work documented by the crew? - Are access questions left open when unresolved? - Does each date come from an approved schedule? - Are conflicts flagged, with no start date promised? ## What it never does Write these limits into this job's instructions. Do not approve site conditions or promise timing.
