Same task, same AI, the only difference is how much context I gave it

Left side is what most people type. Right side is what I actually use for professional writing: reports, memos, findings, anything where you need a first draft that doesn't sound like a robot wrote it. My example happens to be from internal audit but the structure works for any field.

The step most people skip is the last one: pasting an example of how you'd normally write it yourself.

That single addition changes the tone more than anything else I've tried.

Anyone else have prompt tricks that finally made it click? Would love to swap notes.
