    Suggested prompts to try

    Audit and evidence retrieval

    Scenario: Missing evidence check
    “Search for erasure reports for these serial numbers and tell me which assets have completed reports and which are missing evidence.”

    Failure analysis

    Scenario: Failed erasure review
    “Find all failed erasures from last month, group them by failure reason, and highlight any patterns by device model or site.”

    Reporting summary

    Scenario: Quarterly activity summary
    “Summarize our erasure activity for the last quarter, including total reports, pass rate, common failure reasons, and standards used.”

    Success looks like: The report comes back accurate and complete, and reconciling it takes noticeably less manual digging than usual.
