Design a minimum viable schema, metadata, and acceptance criteria for a performance knowledge base.

L&D teams making knowledge findable, maintainable, and safe to reuse.

I am using Build The System for L&D systems work.

Prompt: KB Schema Design

Goal: Design a minimum viable schema, metadata, and acceptance criteria for a performance knowledge base.

Audience: L&D teams making knowledge findable, maintainable, and safe to reuse.

Source material I will provide:
- Knowledge domain
- Primary users
- Current storage
- Maintenance owner
- Quality bar

Inputs to use: [domain], [users], [current storage], [owner], [quality bar]

Working notes:
- domain: [add domain]
- users: [add users]
- current storage: [add current storage]
- owner: [add owner]
- quality bar: [add quality bar]

Rules:
- Use only approved source material.
- Do not invent policy, compliance, learner, employee, customer, financial, or business facts.
- Do not paste sensitive, confidential, employee, learner, customer, or proprietary data into an AI tool unless your organization has approved that tool for that data.
- Treat AI output as a draft that needs human review.

Return:
1. Document hierarchy
2. Minimum viable schema
3. Bouncer criteria
4. Metadata tags

Human review checklist:
- Does the output stay inside the source material?
- Are assumptions and missing information labeled?
- Is there a clear human owner for the final decision?
- Does the output need legal, compliance, privacy, accessibility, leader, requester, or SME review?
