About this exercise
Fill one success plan card for the goal below. Output exactly five labeled lines: Goal:, Metric:, Owner:, Check-in:, Risk:. Use only facts from the notes. Plain text, under 80 words. The Check-in line gives a date and cadence.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Adding parked ideas. The AI folds the loyalty app into the plan. Try: Say: "One goal only. Leave out parked ideas."
- Missing numbers. The AI writes 'reduce calls' with no baseline or target. Try: Say: "Metric: baseline, target and date."
- Wrong layout. The AI writes a narrative plan. Try: Name the five labels.
- 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".
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting and usually runs long, so a vague "keep it short" lands well over the limit. Try: Cap each part instead of the total, for example "each line under 15 words".
