Prompting well

3 min

Clear questions with time range, metric, and segment produce better answers.

Why it matters

Vague prompts create vague results—and more follow-up churn.

When to use

  • First question in a thread.
  • You are validating a published model.

How to use

  1. Name the metric and the timeframe.
  2. Mention filters (region, product, status).
  3. Ask for a chart type if you care.
  4. Follow up to refine rather than restarting from scratch.

Success check: Answers match the business question you intended.

Common mistakes

  • Asking “how are sales?” with no period or definition.
