Practical Tip
1. Replace generic 'summarize' prompts with a request for a 'decision brief' for a busy reader. 2. Instruct the model to state the primary decision the report is meant to inform in a single sentence. 3. Direct the model to extract 3 to 5 key findings that would actually change or influence that decision, omitting irrelevant details.
