# Learn and complete the AP

It is really important that you complete an AP having learned something and shared that knowledge.

To complete an AP you must have :

* Implemented your decision (or have learn enough to decide it’s time to stop)
* Ensured the actual spend has been recorded by the Finance team
* Captured lessons learnt and [updated the AP result](/advice-process/run-your-own-ap/where-to-start.md#the-ap-template) section
* Published an internal blog post summarising the AP what and why, the result and learnings. It's important to include details of:
  1. Actual vs estimated cost.
  2. Actual outcomes in relation to success metrics.
  3. Any next steps that follow the AP.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://playbooks.equalexperts.com/advice-process/how-the-ap-works/learn-and-complete-the-ap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
