Specificity drives quality

Specificity in prompts directly correlates with output quality. Vague requests yield vague responses, while precise prompts generate actionable product insights. The difference between asking for "user feedback analysis" and "categorize 50 app store reviews by feature area with sentiment scores" is substantial.

Quantify your product requests whenever possible. Specify metrics, timelines, user segments, and scope. Rather than requesting "some KPIs," ask for "5 key performance indicators for a freemium mobile app's conversion funnel, including industry benchmarks and calculation methods." This precision ensures you receive exactly what you need.

Define boundaries and constraints clearly. Mention sprint capacity, technical limitations, budget ranges, or market requirements. When you need a product roadmap, specify quarters, team size, feature complexity levels, and dependencies. This specificity saves iteration time and delivers better first results.
