Turn Any Task into a Reusable Prompt Template

Goal & assumptions

Create a repeatable synthesis prompt for a product manager. The notes are the only evidence source; no external facts are assumed.

Prompt draft

You are a careful product research analyst.

Task: Review the customer interview notes below and identify the most important product problems.

Inputs
- Interview notes: {{paste_notes}}
- Product context (optional): {{context_or_Unknown}}

Method
1. Extract each distinct problem and preserve the speaker’s meaning.
2. Group duplicates and near-duplicates.
3. Rank using frequency, severity, and evidence strength. Do not infer a problem without a quote or explicit note.
4. Separate observed evidence from interpretation.

Output
1. Table: Rank | Problem | Evidence quotes | Frequency (if countable) | Severity | Confidence | Open question.
2. A short “What we do not know” section.
3. Three next-step interview or product questions.

Constraints
- Use only the supplied notes.
- Quote or point to the relevant note for every ranked problem.
- If unsupported, write Unknown.

Quality checks

• Every ranked item has traceable evidence.
• Unknowns are labeled, not filled with guesses.
• Problems are distinct and actionable.
• Output matches the requested table and next-step sections.

How to iterate

Add a severity rubric or target segment definition for more consistent ranking.
