Power Of The CRIT Prompt Framework
- Framing a prompt with Context, Role, Interview, Task (CRIT) produces far better AI outputs than ad-hoc queries.
- Investing time to build precise context and role yields higher-quality strategic drafts from AI.
Use Single-Question Interviews With AI
- Ask AI one question at a time during an interview step to surface deeper context.
- Limit to three follow-ups so the model extracts focused, high-value information efficiently.
