PRODUCTION SCENARIO
A public-health drafting assistant finds two regulations that contradict each other on a procedure. Neither carries an effective date the assistant can establish, and the organization has no policy of defaulting to the stricter text. The reviewer who receives the output cannot see the assistant's transcript and will act on the handoff alone.
What should the assistant hand to the reviewer?

Answer: The two regulations, the conflict between them, and the decision to make
An agent that hits a blocker pauses for a person, and this handoff has to stand on its own because the reviewer sees nothing else: the two texts, the contradiction between them, and the decision a person has to make. Taking the later effective date is right when those dates can be established and the organization resolves conflicts by recency, and this assistant cannot establish them. Drafting to the stricter text is right where a default-to-strictest policy exists, and there is none. Sending the marked transcript is right when the reviewer can read it and wants the evidence trail; this reviewer cannot, so it delivers evidence without the question.
