About this exercise
Outline a case study in plain text with exactly 5 headings on their own lines: Client, Challenge, Approach, Results, Quote. Under each, write one line. Use only approved facts from the notes; for anything marked unapproved or missing, write "Pending client approval". Refer to the client as "a regional distributor" because the name is not approved. Under 100 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Naming the client or using dollar savings. The AI writes Halden Wholesale and $180K. Try: Add: "Use only approved facts; client is a regional distributor."
- Using the unapproved quote. The AI quotes the COO's email. Try: Add: "Quote: Pending client approval."
- Wrong headings. The AI adds extra sections. Try: Add: "Exactly 5 headings on their own lines."
- Long outline. The AI writes paragraphs per section. Try: Add: "One line under each heading, plain text, under 100 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Names the five headings
- Handles unapproved items
- Keeps the client anonymous
- Limits to approved facts
- Plain text with limits
