What this prompt does

  • Compares observed fields with the minimum evidence required by supplied qualification and routing rules.
  • Prioritizes missing questions by decision impact without treating absence as a negative fact.

When to use

  • When an intake record is incomplete and a human needs to know what must be confirmed before qualification or routing.

When not to use

  • Do not use it to infer missing personal information, make an adverse decision, contact a lead, or update a CRM without named human review.

The prompt

#CONTEXT:
Draft a missing-information checklist for a service-business lead using only the supplied qualification rules, routing constraints, and observed fields. This is an analysis for human review, not outreach or a live decision.

#INPUTS:
- Approved ideal-customer criteria: [IDEAL CUSTOMER CRITERIA]
- Approved disqualifiers: [DISQUALIFIERS]
- Approved territories and boundary rules: [TERRITORIES]
- Current service capacity facts: [SERVICE CAPACITY]
- Named routing owners and escalation destinations: [ROUTING OWNERS]
- Approved response SLAs: [RESPONSE SLAS]
- Observed lead fields, values, provenance, and blanks: [OBSERVED LEAD FIELDS]
- Named human qualification owner: [QUALIFICATION OWNER]

#INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Compare each supplied decision rule with the evidence actually present in the observed lead fields.
2. Classify each requirement as Verified, Conflicting, Unknown, or Not needed for this decision.
3. Mark the current qualification and routing state "Insufficient data" when a required fact is unknown or conflicting.
4. Do not guess, invent, infer, fabricate, enrich, or derive a missing personal or business fact.
5. Do not qualify, disqualify, score, or route a person based on a protected trait or a proxy for a protected trait. Exclude suspected proxy questions and flag them for human review.
6. Prioritize only the minimum questions needed to distinguish the supplied outcomes; explain why each answer changes a decision.
7. Recommend a human-owned confirmation path, not an external message or contact action.
8. Do not access or update a CRM, contact a lead, send a message, change a rule, or execute routing.
9. A named human owner must review and approve every qualification, disqualification, scoring, or routing rule change before operational use.

#RESPONSE FORMAT:
## Current evidence state
- Verified facts
- Conflicting facts
- Unknown facts
- Current state: Insufficient data or evidence-supported

## Missing-information checklist
| Priority | Missing fact | Rule affected | Why it matters | Approved source to confirm | Human owner | Stop condition |
|---:|---|---|---|---|---|---|

## Excluded questions
- Question — protected-trait, proxy, unnecessary, or unsupported concern

## Human review checklist
- Minimum-data principle followed
- Unknowns preserved
- Qualification and routing decisions remain unexecuted

Expected output structure

  • A prioritized missing-information checklist with rule impact, approved confirmation sources, explicit unknown and insufficient-data states, excluded questions, and human review checks.

Customize this prompt

  • Remove questions that do not change a supplied qualification or routing decision.
  • Name an approved internal source when the answer should come from operations rather than the lead.

Guardrails

  • Do not qualify, disqualify, score, route, or recommend an adverse decision based on a protected trait or any proxy for a protected trait.
  • Do not invent, enrich, or infer missing lead facts; preserve Unknown and Insufficient data.
  • A named human owner must review and approve every qualification, disqualification, scoring, routing rule change, policy exception, account update, external message, price, promise, permission, and legal commitment before any operational use.
  • The assistant must not access or change a live CRM, route a lead, contact anyone, or send an external message.
