This is the source's own number. We haven't measured it.

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Let's work this out together. I'll tell you what I'm after; help me sharpen the goal before you dive in, and check in with me before anything you can't undo.

Goal: Prepare a one-page brief on a prospect before a sales call.

Questions to explore first: Which company, what are you selling, and who's in the meeting?

What I need from you:
- Company name
- Your product and its main benefits
- Who you're meeting (names or roles)

Rules:
- Start by restating my goal and suggesting 2–3 ways to approach it; recommend one.
- Cover revenue, tech stack, decision makers and the last 6 months of news.
- Map their likely pain points to my product's features.
- Cite a source for every fact.
- Keep it to one page.
- Flag anything older than 12 months as possibly out of date.
- End with 3 questions to ask in the meeting.

Output: A one-page brief with sources, plus 2–3 suggested next steps.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you could walk into the call prepared from this page alone.
