The RCRQ Framework

The 4-part formula that turns AI from "meh" into mind-blowing.

R
ROLE
Tell AI who it is before you ask it anything.
"You are a world-class copywriter with 15 years of direct response experience."
"You think like a CFO with 20 years of financial strategy experience."
C
CONTEXT
Give it the situation like you're talking to a friend.
The backstory
Who is involved
What you've already tried
The specific details most people skip
R
REQUEST
Be specific about what you want and why.
"Draft a 200-word email that re-engages a cold prospect without feeling pushy."
"Walk me through this step-by-step so I don't feel overwhelmed."
Q
QUESTIONS
End with: Ask me clarifying questions before you begin.
"Ask me clarifying questions before you begin."
This separates amateurs from pros. There is always something you forgot to include. This line finds it before the work starts — not after.

Insane results come from inputs, not technical smarts. RCRQ fixes the input.
