Do I need to be technical to run this loop?

No. The loop is designed for business leaders who can explain the problem clearly and review the answer critically. A technical partner may help with data or systems, but the business owner should make the final decision.

Can I use this with ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI assistant?

Yes. Most sessions work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or an enterprise assistant. Use Codex or Claude Code when the session involves an editable artifact such as a document, spreadsheet, site, repository, or prompt library file. For confidential customer, employee, supplier, pricing, or employer data, use the assistant your organization allows for that material.

When is the loop finished?

It is finished when the decision, next action, owner, evidence gap, and stop condition are explicit. If those are still unclear, rerun the evidence step before adding more people or tools.

Prompt Quality Audit Loop

Is this prompt good enough for business use? Use this before sharing a prompt with colleagues, agents, or a team workflow to check clarity, context, guardrails, output format, and failure modes. Prompt Quality Audit Loop Task: Is this prompt good enough for business use? Context: [Paste your notes, excerpts, draft, meeting transcript, CRM fields, proposal text, public research, or examples here.] Context I should provide: - Prompt draft - Intended user - Tool environment - Allowed context - Desired output - Bad answer examples - Known risks Useful setup: Paste the prompt, intended user, tool environment, allowed context, desired output, and examples of bad answers to avoid. Why this matters: Use this before sharing a prompt with colleagues, agents, or a team workflow to check clarity, context, guardrails, output format, and failure modes. Business problem: Most shared prompts fail because they do not state context, boundaries, output format, examples, or what a bad answer looks like. Instructions: Act as a prompt quality auditor for business use. Review the prompt below. Score clarity, context, output format, data safety, assumptions, and failure handling. Then rewrite it and provide realistic test cases. Workflow: 1. Identify the job: State what the prompt helps a person do and when it should not be used. 2. Audit context requirements: Check whether the prompt tells users what context to paste and what to avoid. 3. Audit output requirements: Check whether the answer format, quality bar, and review steps are explicit. 4. Add guardrails: Add safety boundaries, missing-context behavior, and assumptions language. 5. Create test cases: Write two or three realistic tests that reveal whether the prompt works. Quality bar: - Use only the context in this chat. - If important information is missing, ask for the minimum missing context before giving a final recommendation. - Separate facts from assumptions. - Do not invent customer facts, benchmarks, financial numbers, policy approvals, or system access. - Keep the answer useful for Governance Lead. Output: A prompt quality score, failure risks, revised prompt, and test cases. - BLUF recommendation or draft. - Evidence from my context. - Assumptions and missing information. - Risks, objections, or failure modes. - Recommended next action, owner, and stop condition. Evidence checklist: - User - Task - Context required - Output format - Guardrails - Failure mode - Test case Stopping condition: Stop when the prompt can be tested by someone else and produces a reviewable output.
