The Quiet Case for Data work Templates

You don't need a hundred data work prompts. You need five you trust and actually reuse.

Make the output reviewable

Treat the first output as a draft, not a verdict. The prompt does the typing; you keep the judgment about what ships.

• Name the audience and the single goal before you generate
• Save the prompt that worked so the next person reuses it
• Keep one ask per prompt — chaining beats cramming

Treat the first output as a draft, not a verdict. The prompt does the typing; you keep the judgment about what ships.

Ask for the reasoning, then the result. When the model shows its steps you can see exactly where to push back.
