Specific Objective

Obiettivo Specifico

Specific Objective is the prompting dimension that measures how clearly the prompt describes what the AI must produce. It's not about describing the topic area ("help me with the strategy") but the precise, quantified output expected ("build a LinkedIn editorial calendar for September: 12 posts, 3 per week, alternating case studies, tips, and educational content").

Definition

A specific objective answers: what must the AI produce? How many elements? With what structure? In what form? For what final purpose?

How it's used in Grace

In Grace, the Specific Objective is worth 15% of the score. For each scenario, turn the generic request into a measurable objective: not "help me write a policy", but "write a 2-page policy with 5 sections (definition, scope, responsibilities, procedures, sanctions) in language accessible to non-HR staff".
