A transfer-based method for using AI without removing the perceptions and decisions an apprentice needs to develop.
Reading path
Use AI assistance without mistaking access to an answer for possession of the skill, judgment, or authorship behind it.
Why this order
The order moves from apprenticeship and fading support to the loss of diagnostic struggle, then to tacit knowledge in real work, and finally to the evidence needed to claim a draft as one's own.

A transfer-based method for using AI without removing the perceptions and decisions an apprentice needs to develop.
Start with the learning relationship itself and a transfer test that reveals whether assistance has become independent capability.

An evidence ladder and retrieval protocol for testing whether an instant AI explanation became usable understanding.
Next examine productive struggle, because a correct explanation can arrive before the learner has located the gap it was meant to repair.

A method for preserving tacit knowledge through exception records, supervised cases, and feedback on what practitioners notice.
Then move into practice, where exceptions and tacit context show why polished output is not the whole of competence.

A three-artifact archive for preserving provenance, recording AI assistance, and making editorial responsibility inspectable.
Finish with authorship and provenance, asking what evidence should remain when generated assistance has touched the final artifact.
