About this exercise
Rank the top 3 requests for the product team by total ARR of the accounts asking, highest first. Exactly three numbered lines formatted "1. Request: $X ARR (N accounts)". Add up the ARR yourself. Plain text, nothing else.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Ranking by count. The AE comment pushes the AI to rank SSO first. Try: Say: "Rank by total ARR, not by number of accounts."
- Adding wrong totals. The AI misadds the ARR. Try: Say: "Add up the ARR of each request yourself."
- Wrong line format. The AI adds a fourth item or writes prose. Try: Say: "Top 3 only, formatted 1. Request: $X ARR (N accounts)."
- Leaving the list shape open. The AI picks its own number of items and its own layout. Try: Show the shape: "exactly N numbered lines like: 1. Label: detail".
- Getting markdown back. AI adds bold and headings by default, which show up as stray symbols where this is pasted. Try: Say "plain text, no bold, no headings, no asterisks".
