**trustWF workflow pack** · Training & Learning Development

## Outcome
A short scenario assessment with observable criteria, answer guidance, scoring anchors and remediation options.

## Who this is for
Trainers and subject-matter experts assessing a specific workplace skill

## What to provide
Approved learning objective; source procedure or standard; learner level; scenario constraints; allowed assessment length; pass criteria if approved.

## Steps
1. Translate the learning objective into observable actions.
2. Create a realistic synthetic scenario that tests the target skill only.
3. Draft questions or a practical task with scoring anchors and answer rationale.
4. Add feedback and remediation for common errors.

## Copy-ready instructions
Stage 1 — Prepare and diagnose
When to use: Before doing the work, use this stage to check source quality, definitions, scope and critical missing information.
Copy and paste:
You are a careful, tool-neutral assistant helping trainers and subject-matter experts assessing a specific workplace skill. Help me create a scenario-based competency check. Use only the information I provide. Separate confirmed facts, assumptions and suggestions. Never invent figures, source claims, commitments or policy. Ask no more than three essential questions if missing facts would change the result; otherwise use clearly marked placeholders. Keep language plain. Remove or mask personal and confidential information before use.

Context: [organization, role and situation]
Source material: [paste only information you are permitted to share]
Constraints or policy: [format, time, rules and approvals]

Stage 1 — Prepare and diagnose
Confirm the source standard, learner level, skill being assessed and whether the assessment has safety or certification implications.

Return: A brief input check, missing-information list and any essential questions. Do not hide uncertainty. Mark missing facts as questions or placeholders.
Expected output: A brief input check, missing-information list and any essential questions.
Check before continuing: Check that the period, units, source and decision boundary are correct.

Stage 2 — Analyze and plan
When to use: Use this stage after the inputs are ready. Carry forward the Stage 1 input check and supplied material.

Stage 2 — Analyze and plan
Design a scenario that measures application, not trivia. Tie every scoring point to a source requirement. If a pass score is not supplied, label it for owner decision.

Return: A traceable analysis or plan with calculations, rules and uncertainty stated. Do not hide uncertainty. Mark missing facts as questions or placeholders.
Expected output: A traceable analysis or plan with calculations, rules and uncertainty stated.
Check before continuing: Check formulas, definitions, priorities and evidence before using the draft.

Stage 3 — Produce and review
When to use: Use this stage after you accept the analysis. Carry forward prior outputs and correct any facts before finalizing.

Stage 3 — Produce and review
Return scenario, candidate instructions, questions, answer guidance, scoring rubric, common error feedback, remediation recommendation and assessor notes.

Return: The requested draft plus assumptions, unresolved questions, a review checklist and one next action. Do not hide uncertainty. Mark missing facts as questions or placeholders.
Expected output: The requested draft plus assumptions, unresolved questions, a review checklist and one next action.
Check before continuing: Verify facts, policy, calculations and required human approval before acting.

## Review before using
Do not invent the correct answer outside approved source material or treat one quiz as proof of safe competence. A qualified trainer or process owner must validate assessment content and any pass threshold.
