THE OPPORTUNITY

What this could look like.

Summarize regulatory docket filings.

This entry identifies a potential workflow from the source catalog. Its suitability depends on your utility’s data, existing tools, operating requirements, and the people who will use the result.

BUILD A USEFUL FIRST VERSION

Start with a bounded pilot.

  1. 01

    Define the work and the owner.

    A regulatory lead, subject-matter experts, and the reviewers accountable for the final submission. Choose one repeatable task, record how it works today, and agree on a measurable outcome.

  2. 02

    Test against real examples.

    Use a representative, approved data sample. Include incomplete records and difficult cases. Compare the AI-assisted workflow with the current process, including review and correction time.

  3. 03

    Review the result before expanding.

    Set a quality threshold, examine exceptions, and decide whether the result is useful enough to repeat. Name the reviewer, define the fallback, and document what changed.

MAKE THE VALUE VISIBLE

Measures worth tracking.

These suggested measures are editorial starting points. Define the baseline and success threshold with your team before the pilot.

  • Research or drafting time
  • Citation accuracy
  • Reviewer correction rate
