Fact-Checking and Consistency

Ensuring your case study is factual and consistent is key to maintaining credibility. Use the following prompts to refine your drafts:

Template Prompt Example:
"Review this draft for factual accuracy and consistency in tone and style. Highlight areas that need corrections or adjustments."

A Modified prompt would be:

“Review this case for facts and figures. Make sure that any facts are presented like this [Fact"] and any figures are italicized like this. What is important to understand is that I want to identify any points of relevance in the case so i can check to make sure they align with what I have research as well as new facts that I can find references for to fact check.”

What This Achieves:
This ensures that your case study aligns seamlessly with its intended purpose, building trust with your audience and meeting academic or professional standards. This does not go into the actual facts of the content for your case but that is not a hard check.

Pro Tip: Utilize AI tools for quick checks but always validate key facts against reliable sources. For complex narratives, create a checklist of must-have elements to confirm cohesion.

Enhancing Reader Engagement

Make your case studies more dynamic and reader-focused by introducing interactive and vivid elements. Here’s how to do it:

Template Prompt Example:
"Suggest ways to make this case study more engaging. Focus on adding [Emotional Appeal, Vivid Descriptions, or Interactive Elements] to capture the reader’s interest."

What This Achieves:
A more engaging case study fosters deeper involvement, ensuring the material resonates with readers and promotes critical thinking.

Quick Tips:

  • Add real-world anecdotes or scenarios.

  • Incorporate visuals, charts, or infographics where appropriate.

  • Use conversational tones in key sections to draw in less technical audiences.
