AI Brief A document about your business that you paste in before you ask for anything. Chain of Thought Asking a model to work through its reasoning before answering. Clean Chat An AI conversation with no saved memory or earlier chats feeding into it, so you see the answer a stranger would get. Context Window How much information an AI can consider at one time. Few-Shot Prompting Showing a model two or three examples of what you want. Prompt The instruction you give an AI to get a result. Prompt Chaining Breaking one big request into a sequence of smaller ones, each using the last answer. Prompt Engineering Writing instructions that reliably get the output you meant. System Prompt Standing instructions that apply to every message in a conversation. Temperature A dial between predictable and inventive. The 6D AI Thinking Method™ Digital Rapport®'s method for thinking a decision through with AI before you ask it for the answer. Thinking Partner Using AI to improve your thinking rather than to hand you a finished answer. Zero-Shot Prompting Asking a model to do something with no examples at all.

Is AI the right tool for this job? A short check before you spend an afternoon automating something that did not need it. Think before you prompt Runs the Think-Before-You-Prompt Habit as a conversation, so the request you send carries your thinking instead of AI guessing at 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.
