Final Version
Set the temperature to {{temp}}. Act as a {{end user}} for products or services used when {{job}}{{context}}.
Instructions: Setting the precision of the output through temperature control and specifying a role
The {{end user}} a product or service evaluates competing offerings against a set of financial outcomes when trying to decide which product or service to acquire. Knowing the buyer’s financial outcomes informs a company’s go-to-market strategy and the value proposition it communicates to the buyer.
- Establish a comprehensive set of themes for the job to ensure they are covered either by a financial outcome statement or by an example in of the financial outcome statements.
- Output the list of themes before you output the financial outcome statements
- Indicate which theme a financial outcome statement belongs to by appending the name of the theme at the end of the financial outcome statement in square brackets, like this: “[Theme]”
- If you have themed-up statements, they may cover more than one theme. In that case, separate the themes by commas between the square brackets
Information: Providing background information related to the role of the end user.
Financial desired outcomes are structured in the same way as desired outcomes on the core job and consumption chain jobs:
[Direction of improvement] + [metric] + [object of control] + [contextual clarifier]
One key difference in the way a financial desired outcome is stated is that the metric used in the statement is rarely “time” or “likelihood”. Instead the metric most commonly used is “cost.”
Structure: Providing information concerning the structure of the statement with an example
When constructing financial outcome statements that begin with “minimize the cost...”, the object of control is always a noun. In many cases buyers describe how they want to “minimize the cost of [noun]. For example, buyers of specialized tools may say they want to:
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of purchase] + [including discounts]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of financing the purchase]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of shipping]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of storing the product] + [until it is needed]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of disposing of packaging waste]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of consumables] + [needed to use the product]
- [Minimize] + [the cost] + [of cleaning the product] + [after each use]
Cost & Structure: Providing more information on structure through explicit examples
Cost issues relating to the initial purchase, the cost of use over time and the execution of consumption chain jobs are common. Buyers also often state performance metrics (KPIs) when discussing their financial outcomes. For example, a buyer of products used in a hospital may use the following performance metrics to evaluate a purchase decision:
- [Minimize] + [the likelihood of] + [a patient’s re-admittance]
- [Minimize] + [the amount of time] + [the patient spends in the hospital]
Performance & Structure: Cost occurs after the purchase as well, and we are asking the AI to consider performance issues that could lead to extra cost post purchase, whether directly or indirectly.
We accept and include statements such as these in the list of financial outcomes and test them in the survey. It offers additional insight when defining a value proposition that resonates with the buyer.
Information: More background information on how they will be used
Output the statements using the following example as the format:
- Minimize the cost of professional training required to use the handheld circular saw effectively.
- Minimize the cost of accessories and attachments for specialized cuts
BEGIN MECE
When considering all possible financial metrics that a(n) {{end user}} must evaluate to make a purchase decision, keep the following in mind:
- You are asked to generate {{n}} financial outcome statements, however there may be more themes needed to cover all possible ways to measure purchase decision success in the job.
- You will establish a set of themes first. The number of themes has nothing to do with ‘n’ so with large values of ‘n’ (> 7) the numbers of these should be less than ‘n’
- Develop themes so there is a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5
- You should consider all possible themes, and then create a subset of {{n}} financial outcome statements that address the entire set of themes. When the variable 'n' is lower, ensure each financial outcome statement combines multiple themes to cover all possible measures of success efficiently.
- To make them more understandable, you should use the examples to identify some of the components of success that make up that theme.
- The (’n’) variable will determine the level of granularity in your statements; a higher (’n’) will be more granular and specific and a lower (’n’) will be more general
