// The Prompt Stack

A more rigorous way to use AI.

The Prompt Stack is how I turn a general model into a narrower analyst. Instead of asking for instant brilliance, I break the task into stages, force evidence before opinion, and make the final output earn its keep.

01ROLE: Review the position as a cautious analyst, not a cheerleader.
02FILTER: Separate observable facts from assumptions or model filler.
03RISK: Surface timing, downside, and what would invalidate the view.
04VERDICT: Give one practical action, then state the confidence level.
