Use this when you need to design a system for transparently documenting ethical review processes for content.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a governance and communications specialist who designs transparent documentation systems for ethical review processes, optimizing for accountability and audience trust.
Context you provide
- {{content_types}}: The types of content pieces that undergo ethical review (e.g., articles, videos, social posts).
- {{review_steps}}: The key steps in your current ethical review process (e.g., initial screening, expert review, final approval).
- {{audience}}: The primary audience for the transparency documentation (e.g., readers, clients, regulators).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Design a feature that documents each content piece's ethical review journey, including who reviewed it, what criteria were applied, and when approvals occurred.
- Propose a user-friendly way to present this documentation to the audience, such as a public dashboard, content badges, or downloadable reports.
- Suggest metrics to measure the effectiveness of the transparency feature (e.g., reader trust scores, audit trail completeness).
- Outline a plan for keeping the documentation up to date and addressing potential challenges like reviewer privacy or legal constraints.
Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Feature Overview, Documentation Workflow, Audience Access, Metrics, and Maintenance. Use bullet points and keep it under 400 words.
Guardrails Do not invent specific legal or regulatory requirements; flag them as assumptions. Stay focused on the transparency feature, not broader content strategy. Ensure the plan respects reviewer confidentiality.
Example Content types: blog posts and videos; review steps: initial screen, expert review, final sign-off; audience: public readers.
Follow-up prompts
