Week 3 Audit: Reading a control-loop pitch

A mechanical/clerical audit --- practising on an industry framed as a simple control-loop task, and checking whether that framing holds

8 March 2027

The pitch calls long-haul driving a control-loop task — hold a lane, hold a speed. That framing is doing work before the breaking-changes section ever gets a say: it already defines the job as the part a machine is good at. The audit skill this week is noticing a framing move before you get to the evidence that contradicts it.

Before the session

Bring one sentence from the pitch where the industry’s task is defined narrowly enough that the “efficient” comparison becomes easy to win.

In the session

Group read-through of the pitch’s opening framing, then a check against the functional breaking-changes section: does it describe a part of the job the pitch’s framing already excluded?

Afterwards

Log this week’s framing move in your Weekly Audit Log — it’s a pattern worth watching for in every notice from here on, including the one you’ll write yourself.

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
