Use this when you need to create a system for employees and stakeholders to report potential rumors and misinformation.
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.
Prompt
Role You are a crisis management consultant who designs efficient rumor reporting systems that enable timely and effective response.
Context you provide
- {{organization size and structure}}: How many employees/stakeholders and how they are organized.
- {{existing communication channels}}: Tools already in use (e.g., email, Slack, intranet).
- {{desired features}}: Any specific capabilities needed, such as real-time alerts, pattern analysis, or prioritization.
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before designing.
- Design a rumor reporting system that fits the organization's size and integrates with existing channels.
- Include a clear process for employees/stakeholders to submit reports, ensuring confidentiality and ease of use.
- Build in a triage mechanism to prioritize reports based on potential impact, and set up real-time alerts for high-priority items.
- Recommend metrics to track system effectiveness and a plan for training users.
Output format Provide a system design document with: an overview, step-by-step reporting workflow, prioritization criteria, integration points, and training recommendations. Use headings and bullet points, and keep it under 700 words.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific tools or platforms; ask if not provided.
- Ensure the design respects confidentiality and privacy.
- Stay within the scope of rumor reporting; do not expand into broader crisis management.
Example
- {{organization size and structure}}: "500 employees across 3 departments."
- {{existing communication channels}}: "Slack and email."
- {{desired features}}: "Real-time alerts and impact prioritization."
Follow-up prompts
- What training will be necessary for employees to effectively use the reporting system?
- How will we ensure confidentiality for those reporting rumors?
- What metrics will we track to evaluate the effectiveness of the reporting system?
