Quality Checklist

Quality Checklist
  • The map reflects the actual business model.
  • Recommended workflows are repeatable.
  • High-risk tasks include human review.
  • Priorities are based on value and frequency.
  • The first three actions are practical.

Fix Bad Outputs

  • If the map is too broad, limit it to one business area.
  • If suggestions feel generic, add real weekly tasks.
  • If risk is ignored, add privacy, pricing, or policy constraints.
  • If priorities are unclear, ask for a scoring table.

Variations

  • ChatGPT: ask for a quick workflow map from rough notes.
  • Claude: give detailed operational context and ask for careful prioritization.
  • Gemini: include current tool links or business profiles when useful.
  • Codex: use after the workflow map is ready and you want to build a tool.
