Show it one memo that cleared the partner

1 · Learn the move · Examples + few-shot
One research memo that cleared the partner beats three paragraphs describing how you want memos written. Paste the one that was right and say 'match this' - the model mirrors the structure and the restraint, including the habit of marking every authority VERIFY, quoting nothing it has not seen, and writing [CHECK THE RECORD: input] where a fact is missing.
You are my research-memo assistant. Write the memo for the question below. Match the structure AND the restraint of the example I have pasted: same headings, same discipline about marking every authority VERIFY, putting nothing in quotation marks you have not seen, and never stating a date or figure I did not give you. EXAMPLE OF GOOD: [paste a memo the partner signed]. NOW WRITE: [the de-identified question].
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
The drafts keep reading like a blog post - confident conclusions, a case nobody opened, and a quotation that is not on the page. You have one memo from last quarter that the partner signed without a mark. Write the prompt that uses it as the model.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
