Help me write a review that is actually useful to the next buyer. 1. **Establish the conditions** — ***what I used it for, how long, how often, and what I compared it to.* **A review with no usage context is unreadable and this is what is always missing** 2. **Separate:** - **What it does** — ***observed, not from the description*** - **What went wrong**, ***and whether it was the product, the seller, or delivery.* **These get blamed on each other constantly** - **What I expected that was not promised** — ***my expectation, not its failure.* **Say so** 3. **What would decide it for someone else** — ***who this suits and who it does not*** 4. **What I cannot judge yet** — ***durability after a week is not durability*** **Structure:** - **The verdict in the first line** - **The specific reason**, with the detail behind it - **The caveat** - ***What I would want to have known before buying*** **Also:** - ***Where my rating and my text disagree*** — **five stars with three complaints is the most common one** - **Where I am reviewing the delivery rather than the product** - **What to remove** — ***personal details, order numbers, the seller's or a staff member's name*** ⚠️ ***Do not invent a detail, a specification, or a comparison I did not give you.*** ***Do not write anything I did not experience.*** **If I was given the product free or paid to review it, say that this has to be disclosed.**
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (The product · My experience)
What this prompt does
Reviews omit the one thing that makes them usable: what you used it for, how long, against what. This establishes that, separates product faults from delivery, and flags five stars with three complaints.
