About this exercise
Make a markdown table with columns Band | Deals | Amount and rows Under $25K, $25K to $99K, $100K and above, then a Total row. Boundaries: $25K belongs in the middle band and $100K belongs in the top band. Amounts in $K like $233K. List nothing else. No bold and under 60 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Wrong boundaries. The AI puts 25 or 100 in the lower band. Try: Add: "$25K is in the middle band; $100K is in the top band."
- Arithmetic errors. The AI misadds the amounts. Try: Add: "List the deals in each band before adding."
- Commentary. The AI agrees with the manager. Try: Add: "Nothing outside the table."
- Wrong rows. The AI adds extra bands. Try: Add: "Exactly these rows and a Total row."
What a strong prompt includes
- Names the columns
