About this exercise
Produce one fenced CSV with header account,priority,reason and one row for each account that can be contacted. Priority is 1, 2 or 3 using the rules (check in order). Skip any account marked do not contact. reason is under 7 words with no commas. Sort rows by priority (1 first), keeping the original order within a priority. At most 10 words outside the code block.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Including do-not-contact. The AI adds Harbor Metals. Try: Add: "Skip any account marked do not contact."
- Applying rules out of order. The AI makes Bluewater priority 3 for size. Try: Add: "First matching rule wins, in the order listed."
- Wrong sort. The AI keeps the list order. Try: Add: "Sort by priority, original order within a priority."
- Commas and extra text. Reasons contain commas and the AI adds prose. Try: Add: "No commas in reasons; at most 10 words outside the block."
