About this exercise
Calculate Tariq's Q4 quota. Write exactly 4 plain-text lines starting Days employed:, Prorated quota:, Ramp adjustment:, Q4 quota:. Count the start date as a day. Use plain numbers with no $ or commas, show the math on each line, and use the current ramp, not the retired one. Under 60 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Missing the start date. The AI counts 45 days. Try: Add: "Count the start date as a day: Nov 16 to Nov 30 is 15 days."
- Using the retired ramp. The AI applies 25 percent. Try: Add: "Use the current 50 percent ramp."
- Giving the full quota. The AI confirms Tariq's 150000. Try: Add: "Prorate first, then apply the ramp."
- Formatting. The AI adds $ signs, commas and notes. Try: Add: "Exactly 4 plain-text lines, plain numbers, under 60 words."
