1Name the real task
Describe the decision or deliverable, not just the topic.
2Provide the evidence
Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
3Define done
Set format, quality criteria and checks.
Adaptable starting prompt
Replace the brackets with your case
Mistakes to avoid
- Only using Google Scholar: Misses field-specific databases with higher quality results in that domain
- Skipping the methodology review: A paper's conclusion is only as good as its method. Don't cite a finding from a poorly designed study.
- Ignoring limitations: Every paper has them. If a limitation undermines the finding, don't use it.
- Using papers > 10 years old without checking: Markets change. A 2012 finding about customer acquisition costs may be irrelevant in 2024.
