Unit ID: PAW-M02-U05 Estimated active time: 25-30 minutes

What you will practise

In this unit, you will create success and failure criteria for five safe tasks.

This is important because a prompt is stronger when the quality standard is clear before generation.

Choose five task types

Use these five task families:

1. Writing or editing.
2. Summary or notes.
3. Planning.
4. Comparison.
5. Explanation or teaching.

Use safe fictional examples.

Do not use private, confidential, legal, medical, financial, student, employee, customer, authentication, or security-sensitive information.

The table

Fill this table:

Example row

Task family: Planning

Job statement:

> I need to create a workshop preparation checklist so that a new facilitator can set up a beginner session.

Audience:

> New facilitator.

Output decision:

> The checklist should help the facilitator know what to prepare before the session.

Success criteria:

• three sections: materials, room setup, learner communication;
• simple language;
• no paid tools required;
• includes items that can be checked off;
• lists assumptions separately.

Failure criteria:

• invents venue rules;
• requires private learner data;
• misses review of materials;
• too vague to act on;
• suggests unapproved tools.

Write one prompt from one row

After completing the table, choose one row and turn it into a prompt.

Use this structure:

> Help me [task]. The audience is [audience]. The output should help [decision/action]. Use this format: [format]. Success means [criteria]. Do not [failure criteria]. If information is missing, ask questions or list assumptions instead of guessing.

Check your work

For each row, ask:

• Did I name the audience?
• Did I name the decision or action?
• Are the success criteria checkable?
• Are the failure criteria specific?
• Did I include at least one privacy or safety boundary where needed?

Save your output

Save your five-row table and one prompt. This will be used in the module activity.
