Spot Missing Information Posing as Agreed Requirements

For Consultants, project leads, managers and professionals who turn information into plans, decisions and client work

Everything for Professionals

Use AI to tag every requirement in your notes as agreed, assumed or missing, and send follow-up questions before gaps become rework.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end, you can…

Write a brief that tells AI what to extract and what not to inventSet out the task, inputs, output columns and rules so the assistant audits your notes and request documents without filling gaps with its own assumptions.
Extract each requirement and link it to its sourceProduce a requirements list where every item is tied to who said it, where, and in which document or meeting.
Tag each requirement as agreed, assumed or missing, with evidenceSort requirements by the evidence behind them, and record that evidence so you can show why an item has its status.
Flag inferred owners, deadlines and scope that look like commitmentsCatch the owners, dates and scope boundaries in your notes that were inferred rather than agreed, before they create delivery risk.
Generate targeted follow-up questions grouped by the right personWrite a specific, answerable question for each assumed or missing item, then route them by who has authority to confirm them.
Review AI output against the source and correct what it gets wrongVerify quotes and attributions, fix misattributed or overstated items, and keep your own judgment separate from the source evidence.

Curriculum

The curriculum

The course follows a sample service-improvement project across seven lessons. You can substitute a comparable assignment from your own role at any point, keeping scope, commitments and review responsibility clear.

Module 1Prepare the Audit3 lessons

  1. 1Why Assumptions Look Like Agreed Requirements
    • Explain three common ways an assumption ends up written as a requirement in notes or emails
    • Define agreed, assumed and missing in terms of the evidence each one needs
    • Classify sample statements from a service-improvement project as agreed, assumed or missing
  2. 2Prepare Your Sources and Protect Confidential Information
    • Check whether a given AI tool is approved by your organisation for client or employee information
    • Identify client-confidential and employee information in a set of notes
    • Mask or remove sensitive details using consistent placeholders while keeping the notes usable for the audit
    • Assemble a labelled source pack with document names, dates and attendees
  3. 3Brief the AI to Audit, Not Invent
    • Write a brief that sets out the task, inputs, output columns and rules for handling gaps
    • Include explicit instructions that stop the AI from supplying owners, dates or values that are not in the sources
    • Test the brief on a short excerpt and revise it based on what the AI gets wrong

Module 2Run the Audit and Close the Gaps4 lessons

  1. 4Extract Requirements and Tag Them by Source and Status
    • Produce a requirements list in which each item is linked to a speaker, a document or meeting, and a location
    • Assign agreed, assumed or missing to each item and record the evidence for that status
    • Split compound statements into separate requirements so each can be confirmed on its own
  2. 5Flag Inferred Owners, Deadlines and Scope
    • Spot owners, deadlines and scope boundaries in notes that were inferred rather than committed to
    • Write a follow-up prompt that makes the AI list every owner, date and scope boundary with its evidence
    • Explain why a given inferred commitment carries delivery risk on the sample project
  3. 6Check the AI's Output Against Your Sources
    • Verify that quotes and attributions in the AI output match the source material
    • Correct items the AI misattributed or marked as more agreed than the evidence supports
    • Find requirements, people and dates in the sources that the AI left out of the list
    • Record your own judgment in a separate column from the source evidence
  4. 7Write Targeted Follow-Up Questions and Record the Answers
    • Write a specific, answerable follow-up question for each assumed or missing item
    • Group questions by the person who has authority to confirm them and order them by delivery impact
    • Unmask the questions and list in an approved environment before sending them
    • Update the requirements list when confirmations arrive, with new evidence and a date

Who it’s for

Made for you if…

Made for: Consultants, project leads, managers and professionals who turn information into plans, decisions and client work

Consultants who take their own meeting notes

You've built to a 'requirement' that turned out to be an assumption nobody agreed, and you want to catch those gaps before the client pushes back.

Project leads turning briefs and emails into plans

You receive request documents and meeting notes from several people and need a reliable way to sort what was actually agreed from what was inferred.

Managers handling internal requests

You own the space between an unclear request and a result someone else can use, and you need follow-up questions that go to the right person.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need experience with AI tools to take this course?

You need basic experience using an AI chat assistant, such as asking questions and pasting in text. The course does not assume you have used one to check requirements systematically.

Do I need my own project material?

You can use meeting notes, emails or a request document from a project you're working on, or you can follow the course's sample service-improvement project throughout.

Will the AI assistant see my client-confidential information?

The course covers how to check whether a given tool is approved by your organisation, and how to mask or remove sensitive details using consistent placeholders before uploading. You should also be aware of your organisation's rules on which tools may handle client or employee information.

Does this course cover formal requirements engineering or requirements management software?

No. The course focuses on using an AI chat assistant to audit notes and request documents, tag requirements, and generate follow-up questions. It does not cover formal requirements-engineering methods, dedicated software, or change control after requirements are accepted.

How long does the course take?

The course is designed to take about two hours across seven lessons.

Will the AI invent owners, dates or values that aren't in my sources?

The course teaches you to write a brief with explicit instructions that stop the AI from supplying owners, dates or values not in the sources, and to test and revise the brief based on what the AI gets wrong.
