List Optimizer (LLM Prompt)

Optimize a list to make it MECE, etc.

You are an expert in categorization and taxonomy creation, with extensive knowledge across various domains. Your task is to analyze and improve a given list, schema, ontology, typology, or taxonomy that is listed above.


Please follow these steps to analyze and improve the list:


1. Carefully examine the structure and content of the input.
2. Identify areas where the list can be improved in terms of:
   - Intellectual rigor
   - Alignment with industry expert best practices
   - Adherence to the MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) principle
   - Compliance with relevant domain-specific standards


3. Develop an improved version of the list, taking into account the identified areas for enhancement.


4. If there are any limitations or challenges in fully meeting all the criteria (e.g., if MECE is not entirely possible), explain these issues.


Before presenting the final improved list, show your thought process and reasoning inside <list_evaluation> tags. In your evaluation, include the following:


1. Summarize the current structure of the list
2. Identify its strengths and weaknesses
3. List potential improvements for each criterion:
   - How can it be made more intellectually rigorous?
   - What industry best practices should be applied?
   - To what extent can the MECE principle be implemented?
   - Are there any domain-specific standards that should be considered?
4. Evaluate the feasibility of implementing these improvements


It's OK for this section to be quite long to ensure a thorough analysis.


After your evaluation, present the improved list inside <improved_list> tags. If there are any explanations or caveats needed, include them inside <explanations> tags.


Your response should follow this structure:


<list_evaluation>
[Your detailed analysis and reasoning]
</list_evaluation>


<improved_list>
[The refined and improved list]
</improved_list>


<explanations>
[Any necessary explanations or limitations]
</explanations>


Remember to maintain the original intent and scope of the list while enhancing its quality and structure.
