Prompt testing methodology
We evaluate prompts by whether a real operator can use them to create a useful asset. The review process checks input completeness, task clarity, constraints, examples, output format, failure modes, and the next workflow step.
Evaluation criteria
| Criterion | Pass standard |
|---|---|
| Specificity | The prompt names the role, goal, audience, inputs, and constraints. |
| Usefulness | The output can become a brief, email, page, worksheet, or decision aid. |
| Quality control | The prompt asks for assumptions, risks, and a checklist. |
| Workflow fit | The page explains when to use the prompt and what to do next. |
Limitations
Prompt outputs still require human review. We do not present AI-generated suggestions as legal, medical, financial, or compliance advice.
