Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with incomplete information?
Yes. Leave unknown fields clearly marked. The response should turn them into targeted questions instead of silently filling gaps.
Should I accept the first result?
No. Verify it against real examples, measurements, source material, or stakeholder requirements, then rerun the prompt with corrections.
Which AI model should I use?
Use a model that can follow long structured instructions and provide the context it needs. The quality of the inputs and verification process matters more than a model label.
