04. Pressure-Test Prompts

Be Interview Ready.

Testing for model blindspots and ownership of judgment.

"Tell me about a time you went against the data to make a better decision."

Testing:Can you explain model blindspots? Do you own judgment?

Response Structure

Set Context:"We had NPS scores trending positive, but..."

Name the Gap:"The data missed churn risk in enterprise segment"

Your Call:"Advocated to delay feature despite PM pressure"

Result:"Saved 2 key accounts; data caught up 6 weeks later"

"Walk me through a trade-off where you had to disappoint a stakeholder."

Testing:Do you navigate politics? Can you hold a position?

Response Structure

Goals:"Sales wanted demo-ready; Eng needed stability"

Framework:"I scored it as: impact 6/10, eng debt 9/10"

Negotiation:"Proposed stripped MVP with debt paydown plan"

Resolution:"Sales got pitch; Eng got bandwidth; 3-week ship"

05. Grounded Protocol

Anti‑Slop Rules.

Act, then log off. Keep your agency in a world of infinite noise.

Capacity Guardrails

Minimum Viable Day

“3 actions max. What moves the 30/60/90 plan forward?”

Guarded Hours

“1 block daily. Where is AI/Slack/Meetings banned?”

Rule 1: Draft before prompting

Don't open ChatGPT until you've written your first pass. Keeps AI as refiner, not author.

Rule 2: No infinite loops

If you've revised a doc 3+ times with AI, stop. You're in oracle mode.

Rule 3: Protected thinking time

Block 90 minutes daily with no Slack, no AI, no input. Just build.
