In one sentence

A clear allocation of which steps in the workflow the machine should accelerate and which must stay with a person.

Analogy Mental model

Autopilot and the captain. Cruise, fuel calculation, and weather monitoring are automated. Takeoff, a severe storm, the decision to divert, and reassuring the passengers are not.

In practice What you actually do

Two columns, printed and pinned up. To the machine: clustering keywords, assembling competitor outlines, converting rough notes into a clean table, writing markup, generating title variants, first-pass localisation, and writing the scripts. To the person: choosing what to sell and what to publish, using the product, interviewing customers, forming an opinion, and signing off on facts.

Where people get burned Pitfalls

Teams that invert the columns, hand-writing markup while letting the model invent user experience, produce nothing of value. The allocation is the whole of the method.
