The WMD Learn prompt mark scheme
Every prompt is marked on four criteria, each out of 5, for a total out of 20.
| Criterion | What earns marks | Low (0–2) | High (4–5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. Task /5 | A clear action word and a specific outcome | “Help with an email” | “Write a reply that apologises and offers a refund” |
| B. Context /5 | Who it is for, why you need it, and the background facts | No audience, no reason, no facts | Audience + purpose + the facts the AI needs |
| C. Format /5 | Length, structure (list, table, email…) and tone | None of these | All three: e.g. “under 150 words, bullet points, friendly tone” |
| D. Boosters /5 | One mark each: a role, an example, constraints (what to avoid), asking you questions first, and what a good result looks like | No boosters | Four or five boosters |
| Level | Marks | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1: Basic | 1–5 | A request, not yet a prompt. Expect a generic answer you will need to rewrite. |
| Level 2: Developing | 6–10 | The AI knows what to do but has to guess the details. Usable with a few follow-ups. |
| Level 3: Secure | 11–15 | Clear, well-supported prompt. Usually gets a useful answer first time. |
| Level 4: Excellent | 16–20 | Precise and complete. Gets a near-final answer and is worth saving in your prompt library. |
Very short prompts are capped: under 8 words can reach Level 1 at most, and under 15 words Level 2 at most. A few words can’t carry enough detail.
