Claude: extracts the rules and drafts the crosswalk

You upload the taxonomies, Claude extracts the rules and drafts the crosswalk, the lead approves the boundaries.

  1. You

    Collect and upload taxonomies

  2. Claude

    Extract definitions verbatim

  3. You

    Check the ledger closely

  4. Claude

    Draft crosswalk, test examples

  5. The industry lead

    Lead approves boundaries

  1. Collect and upload the taxonomies

    Use: You

    Have ready: conflicting analyst taxonomies, disputed member examples and permitted-use limits. Build a source inventory and upload to one Claude chat.

    Check

    Check in-scope taxonomies and examples are uploaded and readable; scope, source access and permission limits hold. Upload limits: 20 files per chat, 500MB per file; PDFs over 100 pages are not fully analysed.

  2. Extract definitions and rules verbatim

    Use: Claude

    Ask Claude to extract each taxonomy's category definitions and inclusion rules verbatim into a ledger, with exact passages, locations and the disputed examples list.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft evidence ledger of definitions and inclusion rules with exact passages. For each uploaded taxonomy, extract every category definition and inclusion rule as an exact quote with its source_id and section location. List each disputed member example separately. Mark anything unreadable as unresolved; do not paraphrase the definitions.

  3. Check the ledger line by line

    Use: You

    Compare the ledger against the original taxonomies; correct entries, list unresolved questions, and ask Claude for fixes in the same chat.

    Check

    Compare extracted passages, dates, identifiers and numeric fields against the originals before the ledger moves on; check scope, source access and permission limits; flag missing or unreadable inputs. Checked ledger with source_id, source_date when known, passage_or_cell_location, extracted_value_or_quote, evidence_status, permission_note and unresolved_question fields (original units and time zones retained).

  4. Draft the crosswalk, test examples

    Use: Claude

    Ask Claude to map each category to a rule or documented non-equivalence and test each disputed example against each rule set, citing ledger passages.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Draft category crosswalk with inclusion rules and boundary cases; Source-linked uncertainty and exception notes. Using only the checked ledger, draft a crosswalk: one row per category per taxonomy with its inclusion rule, and mark non-equivalences where the rules conflict. Then take each disputed member example and show which rule set includes or excludes it, citing the rule passage. Do not invent rules; mark undecidable cases as unresolved.

  5. Approve the boundaries

    Use: The industry lead

    Check every category maps to a rule or documented non-equivalence; approve boundary placements before category counts are reused; retain unresolved findings.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

Research analyst compares extracted definition and rule passages against the original taxonomies before the ledger is used (step h2 check).

Industry research lead approves boundaries and confirms the check before any category counts are reused (step h4 check in options B and C; h3 in option A).

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.

What still needs checking
  • Whether the taxonomy set fits the upload or source limits of the chosen tool must be checked against the actual documents.
  • Plan-tier availability for each option must be confirmed on the vendor site at execution time.
  • Evidence pages were re-opened on 2026-10-28 and retained quotes checked against contiguous page text. Repairs are unreviewed and not approved.
