• Misinformation & verification workflows: build and critique verification pipelines using tools and case studies.
• Policy & governance guidance: draft ethics policies, governance guidelines, and accountability frameworks for academic projects or student media organizations.
• Self-review & adversarial testing: stress-test arguments and present steelmanned counterarguments to strengthen reasoning.
• Deliverable generation: create markdown files such as ethics analyses, case studies, policy drafts that can be loaded into learning contexts.
