Write, analyze, and refine
Bring rough material to Gideon and ask for an output suited to its audience. Keep the facts separate from the style you want.
Turn notes into a document
Provide the notes, the intended reader, and the desired structure. Ask Gideon to preserve names and terminology. If something is missing, have it mark the gap rather than invent a detail.
Turn these notes into a decision memo for [audience]. Use: decision, evidence, alternatives, risks, next steps. Keep it under 600 words. Mark missing facts explicitly and do not invent quotations.
Analyze before summarizing
For a spreadsheet or export, start with what the file contains: date range, columns, units, missing values, and duplicated records. Then ask the analytical question. Require the figures behind any conclusion.
Iterate precisely
Quote the section you want changed. Say whether to change tone, structure, length, or substance. A request such as “make the recommendation more direct without changing the figures” is easier to evaluate than “make it better.”
Keep the output
Inspect the final artifact or file and confirm where it was saved. A proposed filename in chat is not proof that a file exists. Open the result, check formatting and contents, and download it when you need a local copy.
Verify quotations, names, dates, calculations, and any statement that is stronger than its supporting material.
