Improve AI output using a quality checklist

Refine AI output against clear acceptance criteria rather than asking for generic improvement.

1. Set acceptance criteria

Define what correct structure, length, tone, evidence and factual accuracy look like.

2. Ask for a gap analysis

Request a list of unsupported statements, missing data and unclear wording. Do not equate model self-review with independent verification.

3. Revise only the necessary parts

Preserve verified content and request focused revisions for gaps; check again before publication.

Vague request

Make it more professional.

Improved prompt

Review the draft against: [TARGET AUDIENCE], [MAX LENGTH], [REQUIRED SECTIONS] and [SOURCE RULE]. List gaps before rewriting; preserve confirmed facts and flag new assumptions.

Key takeaway

Objective rubrics make revisions faster and more consistent.
