Evaluating Prompt Effectiveness for Summarization
A project manager needs to create a high-level overview of a detailed technical report for a non-technical executive audience. The goal is a summary that is brief, easy to understand, and highlights the main business implications.
Consider two possible instructions to provide to a language model:
- Instruction A: "Summarize the following technical report."
- Instruction B: "Summarize the following technical report in three simple sentences, avoiding technical jargon. Focus on the key findings and their business implications."
Which instruction is more likely to generate a summary that meets the project manager's needs? Justify your choice by analyzing the specific components of each instruction and explaining why one is more effective than the other in this context.
