About this exercise
Summarize the regulator's letter for CEO Arvid Holm. Plain text, exactly these labeled lines in order: Asked:, Documents:, Deadline:, Unclear:, Next:. Under 140 words. Use only the material. Where sources disagree, show both and do not pick one. Do not say what the rules require. Next: is exactly: Next: Counsel decides how to respond.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Picking a deadline. The AI chooses Nov 10 or Nov 3. Try: Say: "Where sources disagree, show both and don't pick one."
- Missing items. The AI merges or drops one of the three requests. Try: Say: "Documents: all three items."
- Wrong structure. The AI writes a narrative summary. Try: Say: "Five labels in order: Asked, Documents, Deadline, Unclear, Next."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 15 words."
- Markdown. The AI bolds words or adds headings. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
