Why are ordinary document summaries insufficient for handover training?

**Is a good summary enough to carry work between teams?**

A summary can preserve the words in a record while losing their operational meaning. In retail operations, merchandising may mark a product as approved when its assortment decision is complete. Store operations may use approved to mean that shelf space, signage and staff instructions are ready. The same word refers to different conditions.

**What must an agent do beyond summarising?**

It must interpret the source team's language and express the remaining work in terms the receiving team can act on. A merchandising approval should become evidence for a store readiness task, rather than a claim that launch preparation is complete. The relevant translation depends on the record and the decision, not just a glossary lookup.

**How could generated material help?**

A release could include team-specific status definitions, messages that use shorthand and tasks that require the agent to resolve the difference. A buyer can inspect whether the expected response preserves the source meaning while avoiding unsupported conclusions. This tests semantic translation across teams, a capability that isolated document summarisation does not necessarily exercise.
