How to adapt it
If the first output feels too broad, add one concrete example of the audience, one example of the tone you want, and one example of a claim the AI must avoid. This usually improves the next answer more than adding more adjectives.
If the output is too long, ask the AI to keep the structure but shorten each section around the decision the reader needs to make. If the output is too shallow, add source notes and ask for missing questions before another draft.
