The prompt · ChatGPT

Turn my notes into a report.

My notes: [paste them]
Who'll read it: [role, what they care about]
What I need them to decide or know: [details]
Length: [e.g. 2 pages]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A summary at the top: the answer, the reason and the ask, in 5 lines.
2. A report with clear headings: background, findings, options, recommendation, next steps.
3. Tables where they'd help.
4. A list of gaps I need to fill (figures, sources, dates).

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. paste them: a short note you already have. role, what they care about: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
