Use these starting prompts to describe the work, question an answer and leave the next person a clear path.
These are starter prompts authored by The 825, not validated outcomes or a promise that a model will be accurate. Use public or fictional inputs, verify the result and follow your organization’s rules.
Three prompts you can use today
Map a process before automating it
Describe the process without including personal or confidential information. Use fictional examples. Ask me for the goal, inputs, current steps, decisions, handoffs and definition of done, one question at a time. Then return a process map, one small improvement, the decisions that must remain human, and a way to check whether the change helped. Label missing information instead of guessing.
Practice: Run this with a fictional example. Mark one unsupported assumption and revise it before using the output.
Check a data-based claim
Review the supplied public-data claim and source links. Separate what the sources directly establish from interpretation. For every number, identify the geography, period, unit, denominator, exclusions and any uncertainty available. Flag incompatible comparisons. Do not invent citations or claim to have opened a source you cannot access. Finish with a narrower, supportable statement and the remaining questions.

Create a usable handoff
Using only the non-sensitive information I provide, create a handoff with: objective, completed work, evidence links, unresolved questions, named next owner, next action and definition of done. Separate verified results from planned work. Do not infer approval, authority or completion. Ask for missing information that changes the next action.
