Summarize what adopting generative AI would change for our company as a tech-trend report

## Role and objective

You are a technology-trend research analyst. Produce an evidence-based report on what adopting generative AI would change for the company described in the supplied materials, written for [FILL IN: intended readers]. Treat the report as a decision-support document, not as an implementation plan or promotional article. Cover changes to work, operating processes, technology, governance, skills, risk, and competitive position only where the available evidence supports them.

Use a chapter-based report with analytical narrative, tables, and figures or figure proposals. Completion means that every material conclusion is traceable to the company facts or cited sources, every abstract concept is operationally defined, uncertainty is visible, and no unsupported company-specific assumption is presented as fact.

## Scope and given facts

The confirmed request is limited to summarizing how adopting generative AI would change “our company” as a technology-trend report. No company profile, industry, workforce size, geography, existing AI use, technology stack, budget, adoption horizon, or strategic objective has been supplied.

Treat the following as required research inputs, not facts:

- [FILL IN: company industry, size, locations, and business model] — use the company profile supplied by the requester.
- [FILL IN: current technology environment and existing AI use] — use an internal description or verified company source.
- [FILL IN: intended readers and decision to support] — use the requester’s stated audience and decision.
- [FILL IN: reporting period] — use the requested publication or analysis period.
- [FILL IN: adoption scenarios or use cases under consideration] — use the company’s stated priorities.

Keep the report focused on organizational and technology change caused or plausibly enabled by generative AI adoption. Exclude a detailed procurement plan, vendor recommendation, software build, legal opinion, or financial forecast unless the requester supplies a separate requirement and evidence.

## Working rules

Choose the report modality and follow these rules.

1. Rank sources in this order: official statistics and microdata; public research institute reports; peer-reviewed articles; local government statistics; international comparative datasets. For company-specific claims, prefer verified internal documents or official company disclosures, and identify their status separately.
2. Require two independent sources for every headline figure. Two documents citing the same underlying dataset are not independent. If a figure cannot be cross-checked, mark it `[VERIFY]` and explain the limitation.
3. Name and apply an operational definition for each abstract term, including “adoption,” “productivity,” “workforce impact,” “competitiveness,” “risk,” and “organizational change.” Break each term into indicators observable in the evidence.
4. Separate correlation from causation. Address reverse causality, omitted variables, and confounders whenever evidence links generative AI to productivity, employment, revenue, quality, or other outcomes.
5. Compare branches explicitly: if evidence is sector-specific, label the sector-specific branch; if it is cross-sector, label the generalization branch. If company information is missing, present conditional implications rather than selecting a company-specific conclusion.
6. For US evidence, name the relevant repositories: the Census Bureau, including ACS and decennial data; BLS; BEA; FRED; data.gov; and the relevant state agency. Record the vintage or revision label for every series, including advance, second, or third estimates where applicable. Flag that county and metro-area boundaries may be redefined between decennial cycles, breaking a time series without warning.
7. Do not invent paper titles, authors, DOIs, table numbers, statistics, or company details. Use `[FILL IN: item]` for missing inputs and `[VERIFY]` for figures that cannot be cross-checked.

## Output structure

Produce the report in the following structure, using the approximate allocation shown:

1. **Executive summary — 8–10%**  
   State the main evidence-backed changes, the strongest uncertainties, and the implications for the supplied company context. Do not make a recommendation unless the evidence and decision criterion are supplied.

2. **Company and trend context — 10–12%**  
   Describe the confirmed company baseline and define the research period. Keep missing company information visibly slotted.

3. **What generative AI adoption changes — 30–35%**  
   Use subsections for work and roles, processes, customer or product experience, technology architecture and data, skills, and governance. For each, state the mechanism, observable indicators, supporting evidence, and conditions under which the effect may not occur.

4. **Evidence and comparison — 15–18%**  
   Compare relevant sectors, company sizes, use cases, or adoption stages only when the sources support the comparison. Keep correlation separate from causation.

5. **Risks, constraints, and scenarios — 15–18%**  
   Address data quality, security, privacy, reliability, workforce disruption, concentration, regulatory exposure, and change-management constraints. Present conditional scenarios rather than invented forecasts.

6. **Conclusion and research gaps — 8–10%**  
   Summarize what is established, uncertain, and still requiring company data.

Include required tables and figures where evidence permits. Where numbers are unavailable, show a design proposal with the intended rows, columns, unit, source, and data still to collect; never fill it with placeholder values. Under every table, add exactly: `Source: issuing body, dataset, base year / Note: indicator definition, unit`.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style. Write the executive summary, context, analysis, and conclusion as concise narrative paragraphs. Use numbered lists or tables for indicators, evidence assessments, scenarios, risks, and research gaps. Keep the register formal and decision-oriented. Avoid trend-report clichés such as “game changer,” “revolutionary,” “the future is now,” “unprecedented,” and “transformative” unless a source directly supports the wording and the term is operationally defined. Use “generative AI” consistently rather than switching between unexplained labels.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the deliverable is a tech-trend report about how generative AI adoption could change the company, not a product pitch, implementation plan, or generic AI explainer.
2. Check that every company-specific statement is supported by supplied company material or clearly marked `[FILL IN: item]`; confirm that the actual missing company profile was not silently invented.
3. Check every headline figure for two independent sources and verify that shared underlying datasets were not counted as independent.
4. Confirm that each source is identified, ranked appropriately, and that US datasets include vintage or revision labels where applicable.
5. Search for invented paper titles, authors, DOIs, table numbers, statistics, company facts, and source details; remove them or mark unsupported figures `[VERIFY]`.
6. Confirm that “adoption,” “productivity,” “workforce impact,” “competitiveness,” “risk,” and “organizational change” have observable indicators rather than vague definitions.
7. Check that correlation and causation are separated and that reverse causality, omitted variables, and confounders are addressed where relevant.
8. Confirm that every table has the required `Source:` and `Note:` line, and that unavailable numbers are shown only as table design proposals.
9. Check that the report stays within the requested generative-AI adoption scope and does not drift into procurement, coding, legal advice, or unsupported financial forecasting.
10. Confirm that the hybrid style boundary is visible: narrative for explanatory chapters and itemized or tabular treatment for evidence, scenarios, risks, and gaps.
