About this exercise

Write an email delegating a vendor demo evaluation to Pilar. Plain text, subject first, under 140 words. Include: the outcome you want, the 3 criteria with weights that add to 100%, the deadline, and what she can decide alone. Use the final weights. Close with this exact last line: I'll read your scores Friday morning.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Old weights. The AI uses 50/30/20. Try: Say: "Final weights are 40/35/25."
  • Missing limits. The AI forgets what she must not do. Try: Say: "Include: don't negotiate or share budget."
  • Wrong ending. The AI closes with thanks. Try: Say: "End with the exact last line."
  • No outcome. The AI describes tasks only. Try: Say: "State the outcome and deadline."
  • Markdown. The AI bolds criteria. Try: Say: "Plain text."
  • 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 it: "each sentence under 22 words."
  • 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 12 words."
