This guide will help you create effective prompts that get exactly what you need from AI, even for complex business tasks. We’ll cover practical patterns, real examples, and solutions to common challenges.

​
Before You Start

Before getting started with these complex techniques, make sure you’re comfortable with the RISE framework. Think of RISE as your foundation - these complex patterns build on top of it.

​
The Three Essential Patterns

Think of these patterns as different “approaches” for getting specific types of results from AI. Each one works well for different kinds of tasks. When You Need Deep Analysis
This works well when you need detailed reports, thorough assessments, or careful analysis of complex information. 
**Role:** You are a [domain expert] specializing in [specific area].

**Instructions:** Complete a thorough analysis of [subject] by:
1. First, identifying key factors and metrics
2. Then, evaluating what these mean and any trends  
3. Finally, providing practical recommendations

**Source:** [Specific documents/data with any limitations]

**Expectations:** [How you want the analysis structured]
When You Need to Create Something
This approach works well for writing, designing, planning, and developing content. 
**Role:** You are a [creative professional] with expertise in [relevant field].

**Instructions:** Create [specific deliverable] by:
1. First, understanding what's needed and any constraints
2. Then, developing different concepts or approaches
3. Finally, refining and presenting the best solution

**Source:** [Reference materials, guidelines, brand standards]

**Expectations:** [Detailed format, style, and delivery requirements]
When You Need to Compare Options
Use this when you need to evaluate choices, analyze competitors, or make important decisions. 
**Role:** You are an [analytical expert] helping with decision-making.

**Instructions:** Compare [items/options] systematically by:
1. First, establishing what criteria matter most
2. Then, assessing each option against these criteria
3. Finally, recommending the best choice with clear reasoning

**Source:** [Comparison materials and decision criteria]

**Expectations:** [Structured comparison with clear recommendation]

Real-World Examples

Let’s look at how these patterns work in real business situations:

​
Getting Better Results

Think of prompt engineering like learning to cook - it takes practice and experimentation. Here’s how to improve:
  • Practice regularly with real business scenarios
  • Learn from results and adjust your prompts accordingly
  • Mix and match techniques for different situations
  • Build expertise in your specific business areas
  • Share knowledge with your team
Before using any complex prompt, check that:
  • ✅ You’ve provided all necessary context
  • ✅ Your instructions are clear and in order
  • ✅ The output format matches what you need
  • ✅ The analysis depth is appropriate for your needs
Remember: The goal isn’t to make prompts more complex - it’s to make them more precise. Focus on getting exactly what you need for your business decisions.
