The prompts were different, the tools were different, and the teams did not know about one another. Underneath those differences, each group was collecting evidence, summarizing it, and preparing a recommendation.
That repeated structure was the opportunity. Standardizing the workflow mattered more than choosing a universal chat product.
The pattern was visible across tools
A tool-by-tool inventory would have treated the activity as seven separate use cases. Mapping the work itself showed one common sequence with different data sources and approval requirements.
A good default kept room for context
The shared playbook captured the reliable steps, approved sources, and review points. Teams could still adapt the final output without rebuilding the workflow from scratch.
Adoption came from usefulness
The new default spread because it removed setup work and made the result easier to trust. Policy supported the change, but practical value drove adoption.
