The Trade Register

A task has become faster and nobody has recorded which human ability stopped receiving exercise.

Issued Instrument 010Template

Use when

A task has become faster and nobody has recorded which human ability stopped receiving exercise.

Inputs

Name the task and the speed, quality, or access the machine provides.
Name the ability the old task rehearsed: explanation, judgment, listening, taste, memory, or something less tidy.
Choose deliberately: trade the ability, keep it, or rehearse it differently.
If you keep it, specify the unaided moment in which a person must still perform it.
Review the trade after thirty days using corrections, errors, and human confidence—not output volume alone.

Machine rules

Check the required inputs before starting. Ask only for inputs that are missing.
Follow the procedure in order. Do not silently skip a step.
Use supplied evidence and named sources. Label assumptions and inferences.
Do not invent research, quotations, people, statistics, or certainty.
Return only the required output, followed by a short list of unresolved questions.
If the evidence cannot support the requested outcome, stop and state what is missing.

Bureau settings

Be precise, accessible, imaginative, and formally understated.
Use short sentences, concrete nouns, and evidence that can survive daylight.
Keep one consequential choice visible. Remove hype, consultancy fog, and generic AI phrasing.
Permit one useful oddity. Do not perform whimsy.
End with a decision, test, refusal, or next move.

Produces

A signed record of what automation gives, what it removes, and which abilities still guard the door.
