AI Prompt to Score Deliverables With QA Fix Plans
QA review often turns into a messy mix of opinions, vague feedback, and last-minute “can you just tweak this?” requests. The result is predictable: rework cycles, missed launch dates, and a team that’s never fully sure what “good” means. Worse, the same deliverable can pass one reviewer and fail another.
This QA scorecard prompt is built for marketing leads who need consistent standards before a campaign ships, ops managers trying to reduce revisions across recurring deliverables, and consultants who must justify feedback to clients with evidence and next steps. The output is a rigorous 1–10 scorecard for every quality marker, clear ❌ flags for anything under 9, and specific fix plans plus a prioritized punch list.

| Variable | What to Enter | Customise the prompt |
|---|---|---|
[PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION] |
Provide a detailed description of the product or deliverable being reviewed, including its purpose, features, and any relevant specifications. For example: "A 10-page whitepaper on AI-driven marketing strategies, targeting CMOs in tech startups. Includes case studies, data visualizations, and actionable frameworks."
|
|
[CONTEXT] |
List the specific quality markers or criteria against which the deliverable will be evaluated. Be clear and detailed about the standards or expectations. For example: "Clarity, accuracy, relevance to target audience, adherence to brand tone, visual appeal, and actionable insights."
|
|
[TARGET_AUDIENCE] |
Specify the primary user segment or audience for the deliverable, including their demographics, interests, and any situational context. For example: "Mid-level marketing managers in retail companies earning $50-100K annually, interested in digital transformation and customer analytics."
|

[TONE] |
Define the tone or style the QA report should use, such as formal, conversational, authoritative, or approachable. For example: "Crisp and professional, with a focus on actionable guidance and minimal jargon."
|

[PRIMARY_GOAL] |
Describe the main objective or success criteria for the deliverable being reviewed, including any constraints or specific outcomes desired. For example: "Ensure the whitepaper meets industry standards for thought leadership and drives at least 20% increase in lead generation among target clients."

Pro Tips for Better AI Prompt Results
- Write markers that are observable, not aspirational. “Clear” is hard to score unless you define what clear means in practice (for example: “states one primary promise in the first 2 sentences and supports it with 2 proofs”). If you’re unsure, paste your current marker list and ask: “Rewrite these markers into measurable checks without changing intent.”
- Include your success definition in the constraints input. The prompt can work without it, but you will get sharper fix plans if you provide a PRIMARY_GOAL like “Increase demo requests from CFOs on mid-market SaaS landing page.” A useful follow-up: “Re-score after applying the top 3 punch list items, and tell me if the goal is now better supported.”
- Paste the whole deliverable, not snippets. QA falls apart when the model can’t see transitions, claims, or repeated sections that create inconsistency. If it’s long, include headings and key sections at minimum, then say: “Call out any gaps caused by missing sections so I can provide them.”
- Use iteration on purpose. After the first output, try asking: “Now make the fix plans more prescriptive with exact wording suggestions for the two lowest-scoring markers, but do not rewrite the entire deliverable.” That keeps feedback actionable without turning the review into a full rewrite.
- Calibrate the bar with one example. If your team argues about what a “9” looks like, include a short note in CONTEXT: “A 9 means it could ship to production unchanged; an 8 means it needs revisions; anything under 7 is structurally wrong.” Frankly, that one line prevents a lot of downstream debate.
Common Questions
Marketing Operations Managers use this to enforce consistent QA across campaigns, landing pages, emails, and partner assets so launches stop slipping. Content Leads rely on it to turn subjective edits into marker-based revisions writers can execute quickly. Product Marketing Managers find it valuable when messaging needs to pass a high bar for proof, differentiation, and audience fit before sales enablement goes out. Client Services Consultants apply it to justify feedback with evidence and a fix plan, which reduces client pushback and endless rounds.
SaaS companies use it to QA landing pages, onboarding emails, and sales collateral against tight standards like clarity of value prop, proof, and scannability. It’s especially useful when multiple teams contribute to one funnel. E-commerce brands apply it to product pages, ad scripts, and promo emails where small gaps (missing specs, unclear offer terms) directly hurt conversion. Agencies lean on it to standardize reviews across clients, ensuring every deliverable is scored the same way regardless of which strategist is on the account. Professional services firms use it to QA proposals and thought leadership where credibility markers (evidence, logic, audience relevance) matter more than flashy copy.
A typical prompt like ‘Review this deliverable and tell me how to improve it‘ fails because it: lacks explicit scoring rules (so it drifts into opinions), provides no structured marker-by-marker evaluation (so gaps get missed), ignores evidence requirements (so feedback isn’t defensible), produces generic advice instead of concrete edits tied to specific sections, and doesn’t enforce a quality threshold (so “pretty good” slips through). This QA scorecard prompt forces a strict 1–10 rating on every marker and mandates fix plans for anything under 9. It also calls out missing inputs instead of guessing, which keeps the review grounded.
Yes. You customize it by changing what you paste into the “Deliverable to review” field, then adjusting your “Quality markers / evaluation criteria” to match your standards (for example, compliance-safe language, brand voice rules, or evidence requirements). If your review depends on context, add a “Primary user segment” and a “Success definition” so the scoring reflects the real bar, not generic best practices. Try a follow-up after the first run: “Rewrite my markers into clearer pass/fail checks, then re-score using the revised markers and highlight what changed.”
The biggest mistake is leaving “Quality markers / evaluation criteria” too vague — instead of “Make it engaging,” try “Uses a single primary promise, includes 2 proofs, and has a CTA that matches the offer stage.” Another common error is pasting an incomplete “Deliverable to review”; “Here’s the intro paragraph” yields shallow scoring, while “Full page copy including headline, subheads, body, and CTA” produces useful evidence-based notes. People also skip “Primary user segment” even when the deliverable is audience-sensitive; “B2B buyers” is weak, but “CFOs at 200–1,000 employee SaaS evaluating spend controls” will sharpen the critique. Finally, they forget to set the “Desired tone for the QA report,” then dislike the style; if your team needs gentler language, specify “direct but collaborative, no sarcasm.”
This prompt isn’t ideal for one-off deliverables where you won’t implement a fix plan, extremely early drafts where the core structure is still unknown, or situations where you need legal/compliance certification or performance guarantees. It is a standards-driven review tool, not a replacement for subject-matter approval. If your main problem is that you don’t yet know what “good” looks like, start by defining your markers with stakeholder input, then run the QA scorecard once the criteria are stable.
Good QA is not more opinions. It’s clearer standards and faster fixes. Paste your deliverable into the prompt viewer, drop in your markers, and get a scorecard your team can actually execute.
