Turn scattered thoughts into structured, actionable questions.

Use Mapping and Narrowing Prompts to refine your thinking step by step.

•  Organize your theme, goal, and key points
•  Clarify the core question before using AI
•   Prevent your thinking from expanding too far and make it easier to narrow the focus

This kit is designed to help you organize your thinking into theme, goal, and key points before planning, proposing, or structuring a conversation.

By clarifying the core question before using AI, you can reduce drift in the output and lower the chance of getting responses that miss your intent.

Even when your thinking is still broad or unfinished, this kit helps you see what needs to be addressed, what should be separated, and what needs to be narrowed before moving to the next step.

•  When a marketer needs to clarify the direction of a campaign or proposal
•  When a coach wants to define the key question before a conversation
•  When someone writing a proposal or planning document needs to narrow the key points

•  Start with rough notes, a draft, or an early idea
•  Use the Mapping Prompt to organize the theme, goal, and key points
•  Review the AI response and revise your text based on what became clearer
•  Add the Narrowing Prompt at the end of your revised text
•  Enter the revised version into AI and move toward the next document or task

This kit is designed as a short working loop, not a one-shot generator.

First, use the Mapping Prompt to make the structure of your thinking visible.
Then review the result, revise your text, and clarify what should be kept, removed, or narrowed.

After that, use the Narrowing Prompt when you send your revised version to AI again.
Paste the Narrowing Prompt at the end of your revised text so AI can help you reduce breadth and identify the strongest direction for the next step.

In most cases, one or two rounds are enough to create a much clearer foundation for your next document, proposal, or AI task.

Use this prompt to organize your rough notes, draft, memo, or early idea before moving to the next AI task.

Paste your source text into the prompt and use it to make the theme, goal, and key points visible.

Mapping Prompt

Based on the content below, help me organize the theme I am working on.
The goal is to clarify the key points before asking AI to do the next task.

Please organize the content using the following perspectives:

1.  What is the central theme?
2.  What do I want to achieve?
3.  Who is this for?
4.  What are the main points that matter most?
5.  What information is still missing?
6.  Which parts are becoming too broad?
7.  Which points should be narrowed first?
8.  If I move to the next AI task, what would be the best next question to ask?

Please present the output in the following format:

•  Theme
•  Goal
•  Audience
•  Main Points
•  Missing Information
•  Areas That Are Too Broad
•  What to Narrow First
•  Next Question to Give AI

Here is the source content:
[Paste your draft, memo, proposal idea, or discussion notes here]

Use this after reviewing the result from the Mapping Prompt and revising your text.

When you send the revised version to AI again, paste the Narrowing Prompt at the end of your revised text.

Narrowing Prompt

Based on the revised content above, help me narrow the focus for the next step.

Please do the following:

1.  Identify the single most important point to prioritize
2.  Explain why this point should come first
3.  Remove or reduce secondary points that can be handled later
4.  Rewrite the theme and goal in a more focused way
5.  Suggest the best next AI task or document step

Please present the output in this format:

•  Main Priority
•  Why It Comes First
•  What to Leave Out for Now
•  Refined Theme
•  Refined Goal
•  Next Step

1.  Prepare your draft, notes, proposal idea, or rough thinking.
2.  Paste that content into the Mapping Prompt and enter it into AI.
3.  Review the resulting theme, goal, and key points.
4.  Revise your text based on what became clearer and what still feels too broad.
5.  Paste the Narrowing Prompt at the end of your revised text and enter it into AI again.
6.  Use the narrowed result to move on to the next document, proposal, or AI task.

This kit is not designed to produce a finished document in one step.

Its role is to help you organize the theme, goal, and key points before moving forward.

Your input does not need to be polished. Even rough notes or fragmented thoughts are enough.

Use the output to see what is clear, what is still too broad, and what should be refined before the next stage of writing or planning.

You can use this kit with early-stage material such as:

•  a rough planning memo
•  an early proposal draft
•  discussion points you want to clarify before a conversation
•  a vague idea you want to shape before using AI further

Example Input

I need to draft a proposal for an operational improvement service for small and mid-sized businesses.
The audience is managers dealing with fragmented information, manual coordination, and process dependency on specific team members.
At this stage, the scope still feels too broad, and I am not yet sure what the proposal should emphasize most clearly.

Right now, I am considering these elements:

•  current workflow issues
•  overview of the support service
•  expected business improvements
•  how this differs from other options
•  implementation process

The problem is that if I include everything, the proposal becomes too broad and loses focus.
I want to shape it around the points that will make the client think, “This could solve a real problem for our team.”

Theme

A proposal for an operational improvement support service that addresses process dependency, fragmented information, and manual workload in small and mid-sized businesses

Goal

To keep the proposal focused and help the reader feel,
“This service could address a real operational problem in our business.”

Audience

Managers and decision-makers in small and mid-sized businesses facing workflow and information-sharing challenges

Main Points

•  What inefficiencies exist in the current workflow
•  How those inefficiencies create extra workload or business loss
•  Which problems the proposed service can improve, and how
•  How this approach differs from other available options
•  How implementation can be positioned in a practical way

Missing Information

•  Industry and size of the target business
•  Specific workflow problems happening on site
•  Success measures expected after implementation
•  The main decision criteria of the intended reader

Areas That Are Too Broad

• The draft is trying to explain the problem, the service, the differentiation, and the implementation flow all at once
• The proposal still lacks a clear primary emphasis

What to Narrow First

Start by focusing on this sequence:
current operational problem → improvement through the service → practical path to implementation

Next Question to Give AI

Please reorganize this proposal around three points:
the current operational problem, the improvements this service can deliver, and the practicality of implementation.

•  You do not need a perfect draft before using this kit
•  Rough notes and fragmented ideas are enough
•  If the first output is still too broad, revise your text and run the narrowing step again

This kit is not meant to generate a final document in one pass.

Its role is to help you structure your thinking before the next step.

Even if your input feels incomplete, that is fine. In fact, this is exactly when the kit is most useful.

Rather than treating the output as the final answer, use it to check what has become clear, what is still missing, and what should be refined before moving into document writing, proposal structuring, or the next AI prompt.
