The idea in practice

Draft review is about meaning as well as spelling. Dates, prices, recipients and the language of commitment can change what a message promises, even when its tone sounds appropriate.

Try the distinction on a real task

This is an illustrative request, not a customer result or a promise that every connected service supports every step.

Highlight any commitment, deadline or price in this draft before I decide whether to send it.

How to apply it

  • Read the source thread
  • Compare the draft's commitments with the evidence
  • Approve a specific recipient and version if you want it sent

What to check

Check that the final sent wording matches the reviewed version.

A mistake to avoid

Do not approve a general topic and assume every later revision carries the same sending authority.

Using Bris for this work

Connect an available email service to work with your own messages. Identify the mailbox and the time range, distinguish incoming requests from agreed commitments, and separate a prepared draft from a message you have actually asked Bris to send.
