Assess whether the workflow is appropriate
For confidential, personal or high-risk specialist content, confirm tool permission, data handling and project requirements first. Convenience does not justify uploading unauthorized material to a public service.
Check fluent but misleading output
Focus on negation, conditions, references, terminology, figures, units and omissions. A fluent sentence may simply choose the wrong interpretation of an ambiguous source. Review requires the source and subject context.
Set acceptance criteria for the use
Internal comprehension, public-facing publication and specialist submissions have different requirements. Agree review depth, permitted rewriting, formats and the final approver before deciding whether tool output belongs in the delivery workflow.
A checklist for your brief
- Document risk and confidentiality restrictions
- Permitted tools and workflow
- Human review and acceptance criteria
A common question
Is polishing machine-translated text enough?
Not when accuracy is required. Review needs comparison with the source for meaning, completeness and key data, not just fluency.
