      "heading": "The mechanism: directing attention towards action",
      "point": "John Hattie and Helen Timperley (2007, Review of Educational Research) distinguish feedback about the task, processes, self-regulation and the person."

      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that asking AI for specific, actionable comments is sufficient."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot promise",
      "point": "These publications do not examine today’s generative assistants, and the review by Hattie and Timperley primarily concerns learning in educational settings."

      "point": "As part of SHR’s “IA on the job” programme, an exercise in Lausanne could focus on a recurring task: explaining a technical result in medtech, reviewing a project at a higher education institution, preparing a dossier for an international sports federation or presenting an offer at a Lake Geneva region scale-up."
