About this exercise
Make a markdown table with columns Month | Plan % | Actual % | Gap | Status, one row per month in order. Gap is Actual minus Plan in points with a sign. Status is "Behind" if the gap is worse than -10 points (for example -15), and "On track" otherwise (exactly -10 is On track). Last line exactly: "Review again after Month 4." No bold, under 80 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Flagging exactly -10. The AI marks month 3 as Behind. Try: Add: "Exactly -10 is On track."
- Sign errors. The AI writes gap as plan minus actual. Try: Add: "Gap = Actual minus Plan with a sign."
- Missing the last line. The AI adds performance advice. Try: Add: "End with exactly: Review again after Month 4."
- Bold and extras. The AI bolds Behind and adds comments. Try: Add: "No bold; nothing else."
What a strong prompt includes
