I’m responsible for converting a rare diary series into durable digital records for a grant report in [deadline=6 weeks]. The diaries have heavy marginalia and seals; volunteers will do the work but I don’t trust our current intake sheet. Decide whether to run a single comprehensive intake now or a two-step intake and QA process; tell me which missing fields will cost me the most later (provenance, folio numbers, marginalia description?) and draft the short intake instruction I can send to volunteers tonight so every file is identifiable for citation.

Who does this, and with what

The same task is different work inside a different job.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
