Turn your seniors' corrections into one clear skill for each junior to practise.

## At a glance

- **It starts from:** Your senior's corrections and short reasons on a real draft
- **The pattern:** Corrections grouped by area, so the junior sees why they keep coming back
- **The next skill:** One skill to practise, with the reason, once there is enough evidence
- **Pre-review:** The junior predicts the changes, then checks the draft against your approved rules
- **First skill:** Contract drafting for junior lawyers
- **Privacy:** Each learner's profile is private and never used to compare or rank people
- **Who decides:** Your supervising lawyer; coaching is never legal advice

## What the Practice Coach does

- **Compares drafts:** Looks at the junior's draft beside the senior's corrected version and their reasons.
- **Explains the changes:** Groups the corrections by area, so the junior sees the pattern behind them.
- **Names the next skill:** Once there is enough evidence, it names one skill to practise, with the reason.
- **Runs a pre-review:** The junior first predicts what the senior will change, then sees what your approved rules flag.
- **Keeps a private profile:** Each learner's progress is kept privately, for them alone.

## How the Practice Coach differs from learning by red pen alone

A red pen shows a junior what changed but rarely why, so the same corrections come back draft after draft. The Practice Coach reads your senior's changes and short reasons, groups them into a pattern and names one skill to practise next. Before the next review, the junior predicts the changes first. Each learner's profile stays private, it never ranks anyone, and your supervising lawyer still decides.

How this differs from the Professor (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-training-coach-agent): To teach people how to use AI, use the Professor; the Practice Coach teaches a professional skill from your senior people's own corrections.

## How it works

1. **Senior corrects as usual** (During normal review): The senior marks changes and gives short reasons.
2. **Coach compares** (After each corrected draft): It compares the draft with the corrections and explains the pattern.
3. **Junior practises** (Between drafts): The junior works on the one skill it names.
4. **Predict before review** (Before the next review): Before the next review, the junior predicts what will change and checks the draft against approved rules.
5. **Senior decides** (you approve) (At every review): The senior still reviews and decides. The coach never approves a draft.

## When to use it

- **A junior keeps getting the same clauses corrected:** The pattern is shown, with one skill to practise.
- **A senior has little time to explain changes:** Short reasons are turned into clear coaching.
- **A junior wants to check a draft first:** A pre-review against your approved rules before the senior sees it.
- **A new junior joins:** Coaching starts from the first corrected draft.

## What you get

- Coaching on each corrected draft
- One next skill to practise, with the reason
- A pre-review against approved rules
- A private learner profile

## Example: coaching review for a junior lawyer

Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.

What it was asked: Coach our junior associate from the corrections I made to this supply agreement, and tell them the one drafting skill to practise next.

This is an illustrative example of the coaching review Practice Coach is being built to produce: the senior's coached changes, a predict-first pre-review, a private learner profile and one skill to practise. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented law firm, with an invented learner, drafts and corrections. No real client documents, lawyers or learner records were involved, and nothing was sent or changed. Run date: 15 October 2026.

### What it found

- The senior made 23 changes to the supply agreement; 8 came with a reason and touch a drafting skill, and 4 of those were about defined terms.
- In the predict-first pre-review of the next draft, approved rules flagged 7 places across 3 skills; time periods was the one the junior did not expect.
- Defined terms is the next skill to practise: 11 corrections in 5 of the last 6 reviews, so this week brings three ten-minute drills.

## Guardrails

- Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Practice Coach is ready for your account.
- Coaching on drafting technique only. It is not legal advice, and your supervising lawyer decides.
- It never approves, sends or decides anything.
- Each learner's profile is private. It never compares or ranks people.
