I am about to search a large space for [describe what you are looking for].<br/><br/>Before any searching happens, write the inclusion and exclusion criteria I will apply to every candidate.<br/><br/>Rules:<br/>1. Every criterion must be checkable from the item itself, not from judgement<br/>2. State what makes something a NO as explicitly as what makes it a YES<br/>3. Include an UNSURE category and define exactly what lands there<br/><br/>Output the criteria as a numbered list. Do not search yet.
Apply these criteria to every item in the batch below.<br/><br/>CRITERIA:<br/>[paste the criteria from the previous prompt]<br/><br/>For each item output one line only: item_id | YES / NO / UNSURE | the single criterion that decided it<br/><br/>No commentary. No summary. Do not skip items. Do not reorder them.<br/><br/>If an item is ambiguous, mark UNSURE rather than guessing - the UNSURE pile is the point.<br/><br/>BATCH:<br/>[paste]
Here are 30 items I marked NO and 30 I marked YES in the wide pass.<br/><br/>Read them and tell me where my criteria are doing the wrong thing. Specifically:<br/>1. Any NO that looks like it should be a YES<br/>2. Any criterion that is firing far more often than the others<br/>3. Any pattern in the UNSURE pile suggesting a missing criterion<br/><br/>Do not re-classify anything. Critique the criteria, not the items.<br/><br/>SAMPLES:<br/>[paste]
These items all passed the filter. Rank them.<br/><br/>Score each one from 1 to 5 on: [dimension 1], [dimension 2], [dimension 3].<br/><br/>Output a table: item_id | score 1 | score 2 | score 3 | total | one-line reason<br/><br/>Sort by total, descending.<br/><br/>Do not editorialise beyond the one-line reason, and do not recommend anything - I am choosing, not you.<br/><br/>ITEMS:<br/>[paste]
For each of the top five items, write the strongest case that it is NOT worth pursuing.<br/><br/>Be specific: what would have to be true for this to be a dead end, and how would I find that out cheaply?<br/><br/>One paragraph each. Do not balance it with the positive case - I have already got that.<br/><br/>ITEMS:<br/>[paste]
For the item below, design the smallest experiment, query or check that would tell me whether the finding is real.<br/><br/>Constraints:<br/>1. It must be cheap and fast relative to fully pursuing it<br/>2. It must be able to return a clear negative, not just a positive<br/>3. State in advance what result would make me abandon this<br/><br/>If no cheap check exists, say so rather than inventing one.<br/><br/>ITEM:<br/>[paste]
Draft the findings summary for this search.<br/><br/>Structure: what was searched and how much of it, what criteria were applied, what survived, what was verified, and - as its own section with a heading - what remains unknown.<br/><br/>The unknown section must be specific. "Further work is needed" is not a finding. Name the exact questions that are still open and what would answer them.<br/><br/>Do not overstate. If the function or mechanism is unknown, that sentence goes in the summary, not the appendix.<br/><br/>MATERIAL:<br/>[paste]
