Lesson 06.2 · Phase 06 Judging the output
Is it useful?
01 · The problem
An answer can be accurate and still fail the job: too long to send, too wide to act on, missing the date you needed.
02 · The prompt
Ask whether a specific person can use it without another pass. Name the person and the use.
The use test
I need to paste this into a text to Mara in the next minute. Can I send it as-is? If not, name the one change that would make it sendable. Do not rewrite the whole thing. Draft: “Following up on previous correspondence regarding logistical discrepancies in the inbound shipment cycle…”
03 · Try itPromptYour prompt
The draft is a stall. The useful reply names the stall.
Illustrative answer — written for this lesson, not a live model
No. Replace the whole line with a date question she can answer from a phone.
04 · What you made
A use test: who, in what channel, by when. If it fails, you know why.
