Prompts

Map a process before you automate it Get the current process on paper before you point a tool at it. Evaluate an AI tool before you buy A structured comparison instead of a demo-driven decision. Research a topic without inventing sources Force the model to separate what it knows from what it is guessing. Rewrite a page to be listened to, not read Writing for the ear is a different job from writing for the eye. Pressure-test a decision before you commit Surface the assumptions you have stopped noticing. Find the work that is quietly costing you A structured look at where a week actually goes. Red-team your own plan Have the model argue against the thing you have already decided, before you commit money to it. Write the procedure you have only ever kept in your head Turn something you do from memory into a document someone else could follow. Interrogate a supplier quote Work out what is missing from a proposal before you sign it, not after. A weekly review you will actually keep doing Fifteen minutes at the end of the week that produces a decision rather than a feeling. Turn a meeting transcript into decisions and owners The five lines that matter from an hour of talking, with the disagreements kept in. Explain a decision to the person it affects You have decided. This is the version that lands with the person who has to live with it. Get AI to interview you before it advises you Instead of typing out all your context, let AI pull it out of you one question at a time. Find the questions you should be asking For when you’re new to something and don’t know where to start: AI maps the questions before it gives any answers. Look at a decision from four expert perspectives Put several experts and a sceptic around one table to see where they’d agree, disagree and push back. Discover the options you haven’t considered Widen your thinking before you commit: options, questions and blind spots, including doing nothing. Dig into what’s really underneath a problem Go past the surface: the real cause, the evidence you’d need, and the knock-on effects. Build the strongest case against your plan Let AI be the sceptic, so you find the weak spots before the market does. Turn your thinking into a plan and a next step End every thinking session with something real: a plan, a spreadsheet, a checklist, an email or a list of questions. Separate what you know from what you think you know A quick check after any AI answer: which parts are facts, which are assumptions, and what needs verifying. Sort a whole conversation into a decision board Facts, assumptions, unknowns, risks and next actions in one table, so a confident answer can’t hide a guess. Run the whole 6D AI Thinking Method™ in one prompt Define, Discover, Dig, Doubt, Do and Double-check in a single reusable prompt for any decision. Write project instructions that think the 6D way Set your AI up once, so every chat in a project starts by interviewing you and separating facts from assumptions. Run a property deal through the 6D AI Thinking Method™ The property case study as a prompt: interview, strategies, evidence, the case against, next steps and a decision board. Define: What Are You Actually Deciding? Interviews you until it can describe your situation back to you better than you described it, then hands you a context block the other five steps run on. Discover: What Else Could You Do? Widens the field before anything gets chosen, including the options people in your position usually miss and the ones you will not like. Dig: What Is Really Going On? Takes the option you are leaning towards and gets underneath it, so you solve the cause rather than the thing that was visible. Doubt: What If You Are Wrong? Builds the strongest case against what you are about to do, runs a pre-mortem, and names the places your own reasoning looks motivated. Do: What Happens Next? Turns the thinking into a plan a real person with a full week will actually run, with a first action, signals and stop conditions. Double-Check: What Do You Actually Know? Sorts the whole run into a decision board of facts, assumptions, unknowns, risks and actions, so you know exactly which part you are betting on.
