The blank-page case — and why your first prompt is almost always too vague.

Let us do the hardest case first. You have nothing. No document, no notes. Just a thing you have to present on Thursday. Look at what I actually typed. Not sales deck. A Q three sales review, for a B two B SaaS team, covering pipeline, win rate and churn, and what we change next quarter. Audience, scope, and the decision it has to support. That is the difference between a Wikipedia page and something you can present. When you type two words, the model does not know who is in the room, and it does not know what you want them to decide. So it falls back on explaining the topic. That is why generic prompts give you slides full of definitions that nobody in that meeting needed. So the habit is simple. Name the audience, and name the decision. Every time. Do that and the first draft stops being something you throw away, and starts being something you edit. In module three we turn this into a proper repeatable formula.
