The Doc Draft Ledger: Price Verification Before You Send a Section to the Model

Описание и применение

С помощью YAML‑ledger команды могут оценивать время проверки каждой секции документа до генерации, ограничивая бюджет на ревью и ускоряя процесс.

Задача

Documentation teams waste hours validating AI‑generated content that contains many high‑stakes claims, code, and external links.

Результат

By pricing review effort upfront, teams keep AI drafting within a manageable budget, cutting review time from hours to minutes for low‑risk sections while focusing human attention on high‑stakes content.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Create a ledger.yaml with budget and section metadata (id, path, class, words, claim_density, code_blocks, external_links).
• 2. Run ledger_check.py to calculate estimated review minutes for each section.
• 3. Integrate the script into the CI pipeline; fail the merge if total estimated minutes exceed the weekly budget.
• 4. Use the cost estimates to decide which sections the model drafts, which are outlined, and which stay fully human‑written.
• 5. Review only the sections flagged as high‑cost, reducing overall review time.

Доказательства

The ledger turns each section into an estimated review cost using weights, not magic.

A two‑thousand‑word section may take the model twenty seconds to produce and a reviewer ninety minutes to validate.
