Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Industry: {{industry}} Our organization and what we do: {{our_context}} Who will read the briefing: {{audience}} Period to cover: {{period}} Sources (articles, reports, newsletters, notes from events), each starting with a label such as [S1], the publisher and the date: """ {{sources}} """ Task: Write a briefing on what is changing in our industry, based only on the sources above, for the readers named above. They want to know which changes matter for us and what, if anything, we should do about them, not a summary of everything that was published. Format: Headline: two or three sentences on the most important shift in the period. Trends: three to five, most important for us first. For each one: - What is changing, in one or two sentences. - Evidence: the facts and figures from the sources, with the source label in brackets after each. - What it means for us: one or two sentences tied to what we do. - Confidence: "well supported" (several independent sources), "early signal" (one or two sources, or opinion) or "contested" (sources disagree). Watch list: up to three things that are not yet trends but could become one. Not covered: topics our readers would expect that the sources do not address. Requirements: - Under {{word_limit}} words. - Use only the sources. Do not add trends, companies, numbers or forecasts from your own knowledge, because readers will assume everything in the briefing comes from a source they can check. - Copy figures exactly, with their year, and say when a figure is a forecast rather than a reported result. - Flag any source older than 12 months, and any press release or sponsored content, since those describe the industry the way the publisher wants it seen. - Keep the tone plain and calm. Avoid words like "disruption" and "revolution" unless a source uses them, and then quote the source. For example, a trend entry might begin: "Buyers are asking for shorter contracts [S2, S5]. Confidence: early signal." That shows the form only. If the sources disagree about a trend, show both views with their labels and mark it "contested". If the sources are too thin to support three trends, write fewer and say so rather than stretching them.
Variables
- {{industry}}
- Your industry, as narrowly as makes sense, for example "independent veterinary clinics".
- {{our_context}}
- What your organization does and what it is focused on this year, in a sentence or two.
- {{audience}}
- For example "my team" or "the leadership team at the quarterly review".
- {{period}}
- For example "the last quarter" or "since our last briefing in June".
- {{sources}}
- The articles, reports and notes to work from, each starting with a label such as [S1], the publisher and the date.
- {{word_limit}}
- For example 600.
Why it works
- Background facts. Every fact carries a source label and nothing comes from the model's memory, so readers can check any claim before repeating it.
- What good looks like. Each trend gets a confidence rating, so a single opinion piece is not presented as a settled shift in the industry.
- Who it's for. Each trend ends with what it means for your organization, which turns a reading list into a briefing someone can act on.
