# Prompt: Compare Local Service Listings Fairly

Paste a block of local service listings and get a table of stated hours, fees and eligibility, with missing fields and questions to ask.

## Start here

This is a reusable prompt for planning a realistic research task. Paste a block of local service listings into an ordinary AI chat that accepts text. The model does not browse, call, email or check anything; it only works with the text you paste, and everything it produces is a draft for your review.

**What to paste:** the full prompt below, followed by your listings. Each listing may contain some or all of: service name, street address, phone, hours, fees or price notes, eligibility rules, booking method and free text. Separate listings by blank lines, a heading or a numbered label. Nothing outside the pasted block counts as a source.

**Where to paste it:** any ordinary AI chat box that accepts plain text. No terminal, account setup or API is needed.

**How to check the output:**
- Every service in the table appears in your pasted block.
- Every cell matches your text or says "Not stated".
- Hours keep their original wording; fees are not averaged or totalled.
- No invented phone number, address, dollar figure, age limit or residency rule.
- No claim that one service is cheapest, best or easiest.

## Introduction

Comparing local services is easy to get wrong because listings are uneven. One gives opening hours but no fee; another gives a fee for one case only. This prompt forces the comparison to stay inside what the listings actually state, marks gaps instead of guessing, and ends with concrete questions you can ask each provider before relying on the table.

## Prerequisites and permissions

- A plain-text AI chat that accepts a pasted block. No software installation.
- Permission to paste the listing text you are working with. Avoid pasting personal data (names, case numbers, health details) unless you are allowed to share it.
- The model has no browsing, calling or messaging ability, so it cannot verify anything on its own.

## Limitations

- The prompt does not repair, clean or rewrite the original listings beyond the comparison table; it does not change source files.
- Fees, eligibility and hours can change, so the table is only a snapshot of the text you pasted.
- If a listing is too garbled to split, the prompt returns the ambiguous lines for you to clarify.
- Source reviewed; runtime not tested. No runtime verification was performed, so please check the output against your listings.

## FAQ

**Q: What if a listing states a fee only for one case, such as a concession rate?**
A: The prompt labels that fee as stated for that case only and leaves the rest as "Not stated", so you can confirm the standard rate with the provider.

**Q: Can I use this to decide which service to enrol in?**
A: No. The prompt only produces a comparison draft and questions; it does not rank services or tell you to enrol, apply, pay or attend.

## Complete reusable prompt

You are helping me compare local service options fairly, using only what the listings themselves state. You have no ability to browse, call, email or check anything on your own; you can only work with text I paste, and everything you produce is a draft for my review.

INPUT I WILL PROVIDE
I will paste a block of listings. Each listing may contain some or all of: service name, street address, phone, hours of operation, fees or price notes, eligibility rules, booking method, and free text. Listings will be separated by blank lines, a heading, or a numbered label. Nothing outside the pasted block is a source.

WHAT TO DO
1. Identify each distinct service listing in the pasted block and give it a short label (name plus location fragment if present).
2. Build one comparison table with these fixed columns: Service | Hours as stated | Fees as stated | Eligibility as stated | How to book as stated | Missing or unclear.
3. In every cell, copy the wording or a near-verbatim shortening of the listing. Do not convert opening hours into a different format, do not average or total fees, do not paraphrase eligibility into broader categories, and do not add a service that was not listed.
4. If a listing does not state a field, write "Not stated" in that cell. Never fill a gap with a guess, a typical value, or a general assumption about how such services usually work.
5. In the Missing or unclear column, name the specific fields that were absent and mention any contradictory statement inside the listing without resolving it.
6. Below the table, add a short section called "Before you contact them" with one row per service: up to three plain questions whose answers are needed to complete that service's row. Questions must target a missing or unclear field, not request general advice.
7. Add a final line explaining that fees, eligibility and hours can change and that I should confirm by phone or the service's own current page before relying on the table.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Markdown. A one-line note stating how many listings were found, then the table, then the questions section, then the caution line. Keep cell text short; no commentary essays inside cells. If two listings appear to be the same service described twice, note that at the end instead of merging them silently.

UNCERTAINTY AND MISSING INPUT
If I paste no listings, ask me for them and stop. If the block is too garbled to separate into listings, say so and quote the ambiguous lines back to me. If a listing states a fee only for one case (for example, a concession rate), label it as stated for that case only and leave the rest as "Not stated".

REVIEW CHECKS BEFORE YOU FINISH
- Every service in the table appears in my pasted block.
- Every cell either matches my text (close paraphrase of the same meaning) or says "Not stated".
- No invented phone number, address, dollar figure, age limit or residency rule.
- No claim that a service is cheapest, best, most popular or easiest.
- The questions are concrete and answerable by the provider, not requests for medical, legal or financial advice.

BOUNDARIES
You are only preparing a comparison draft. Do not tell me to enroll, apply, pay or attend, do not rank services, and do not act on my behalf in any way. Stop at tables and questions.

WORKED EXAMPLE (fictional, for shape only)
Labelled input example:
Listing A - Riverside Community Tool Library. Open Tue and Thu 6-8pm. Annual membership $30; low-income rate $10. Must live in the county. Sign up at the front desk.
Listing B - Northside Repair Cafe. First Saturday each month. Free. Bring your own part; no appointment needed, walk in.

Illustrative output shape:
Listings found: 2
| Service | Hours as stated | Fees as stated | Eligibility as stated | How to book as stated | Missing or unclear |
| Riverside Community Tool Library | Tue and Thu 6-8pm | Annual membership $30; low-income rate $10 | Must live in the county | Sign up at the front desk | Contact info not stated; whether $10 rate needs proof not stated |
| Northside Repair Cafe | First Saturday each month | Free | Not stated | Walk in, no appointment | Exact times not stated; which repairs are covered not stated |

Before you contact them: Riverside - what is the phone number or address? what proof is needed for the low-income rate? are other rates available? Northside - what hours on the first Saturday? which kinds of items can be repaired?
Fees, eligibility and hours can change; confirm by phone or the service's own current page before relying on this table.

Pass/fail checks for this example:
PASS if both services appear, hours read "Tue and Thu 6-8pm" and "First Saturday each month", and eligibility for Northside says "Not stated". FAIL if the table converts hours to 18:00-20:00, calls Riverside "cheap", adds an address nobody supplied, or drops Northside because its times are vague.

# 提示词：公平比较本地服务清单

粘贴一组本地服务清单，生成列出所载时间、费用与资格的对照表，并标出缺失字段及可向服务方核实的问题。

## 开始使用

这是一条用于规划真实调研任务的可复用提示词。请将一组本地服务清单粘贴到接受文本的普通 AI 对话中。模型不会浏览、拨打电话、发送邮件或自行核查任何内容，只能基于你粘贴的文本工作，所有输出都只是供你复核的草稿。

**粘贴什么：** 先粘贴下方完整提示词，再粘贴你的清单。每条清单可能包含以下部分或全部字段：服务名称、街道地址、电话、营业时间、费用或价格说明、资格规则、预约方式以及自由文本。清单之间用空行、标题或编号分隔。粘贴块之外的任何内容都不算来源。

**粘贴到哪里：** 任何接受纯文本的普通 AI 聊天框。无需终端、账号设置或 API。

**如何检查输出：**
- 表格中的每项服务都出现在你粘贴的清单中。
- 每个单元格都与你的文本一致，或标注为“未说明”。
- 营业时间保留原始措辞；费用不被平均或汇总。
- 没有编造的电话号码、地址、金额、年龄限制或居住要求。
- 没有声称某项服务最便宜、最好或最方便。

## 简介

比较本地服务容易出错，因为清单信息参差不齐。有的给出营业时间却没有费用，有的只给出某一情形的费用。本条提示词让比较严格限定在清单实际写明的内容之内，把缺失当作缺失而不猜测，并在最后给出可向各服务方核实的具体问题。

## 前提与权限

- 一个接受粘贴文本的纯文本 AI 聊天工具，无需安装软件。
- 有权粘贴你正在处理的清单文本。避免粘贴个人数据（姓名、案件编号、健康信息），除非你被允许分享。
- 模型不具备浏览、拨打电话或发送消息的能力，因此无法自行核实任何内容。

## 局限

- 提示词不会修复、清理或改写原始清单，只生成对照表，不修改源文件。
- 费用、资格和时间可能变化，表格只是你所粘贴文本的快照。
- 如果清单太乱无法拆分，提示词会返回含糊的行，请你澄清。
- 来源已审阅；运行时未测试。未进行运行时验证，请对照你的清单检查输出。

## 常见问题

**问：如果清单只写了某一情形（如优惠价）的费用，怎么办？**
答：提示词会把该费用标注为仅适用于该情形，其余留作“未说明”，便于你向服务方确认标准价格。

**问：我可以用它来决定报名哪项服务吗？**
答：不可以。提示词只生成对照草稿和问题，不会对服务排名，也不会让你报名、申请、付款或到场。

## 完整可复制提示词

你正在帮助我仅依据清单本身写明的内容，公平地比较本地服务选项。你无法自行浏览、拨打电话、发送邮件或核查任何内容；你只能使用我粘贴的文本，你生成的一切都只是供我复核的草稿。

我将提供的输入
我会粘贴一组清单。每条清单可能包含以下部分或全部内容：服务名称、街道地址、电话、营业时间、费用或价格说明、资格规则、预约方式以及自由文本。清单之间将用空行、标题或编号标签分隔。粘贴块之外的任何内容都不算来源。

需要做什么
1. 识别粘贴块中每一条不同的服务清单，并给它一个简短标签（如有名称加地点片段）。
2. 构建一个对照表，使用以下固定列：服务 | 写明的营业时间 | 写明的费用 | 写明的资格 | 写明的预约方式 | 缺失或不清楚。
3. 在每个单元格中，复制清单中的措辞或近乎逐字的简写。不要将营业时间转换成不同格式，不要对费用取平均或汇总，不要将资格改述为更宽泛的类别，也不要添加未列出的服务。
4. 如果清单没有写明某个字段，在该单元格中写“未说明”。绝不要用猜测、典型值或对此类服务通常如何运作的一般假设来填补空白。
5. 在“缺失或不清楚”列中，指出缺失的具体字段，并提及清单内任何相互矛盾的陈述，但不解决该矛盾。
6. 在表格下方，添加一个简短的部分，名为“联系他们之前”，每项服务一行：最多三个直接问题，其答案是为补全该服务行所必需的。问题必须针对缺失或不清楚的字段，而不是请求一般性建议。
7. 添加最后一行，说明费用、资格和营业时间可能会变化，在依赖该表格之前，我应通过电话或服务方自己当前的页面确认。

输出格式
Markdown。先用一行说明发现了多少条清单，然后是表格，然后是问题部分，最后是警示行。单元格文本保持简短；单元格内不要写评论性长文。如果两条清单看起来是同一服务被描述了两次，在末尾注明，而不是悄悄合并它们。

不确定性和缺失输入
如果我没有粘贴任何清单，向我索要并停止。如果该块太乱，无法拆分为清单，说明这一点，并把含糊的行引用给我。如果清单只写了某一情形（例如优惠价）的费用，将其标注为仅该情形写明，其余留作“未说明”。

完成前的复核检查
- 表格中的每项服务都出现在我粘贴的块中。
- 每个单元格要么与我的文本一致（含义相同的贴近改述），要么写着“未说明”。
- 没有编造的电话号码、地址、金额、年龄限制或居住要求。
- 没有声称某项服务最便宜、最好、最受欢迎或最方便。
- 问题是具体的，且服务方能回答，而不是请求医疗、法律或财务建议。

边界
你只是在准备一份对照草稿。不要告诉我报名、申请、付款或到场，不要对服务排名，也不要以任何方式代表我行事。停在表格和问题为止。

示例（虚构，仅供形式参考）
带标签的输入示例：

清单 A - Riverside Community Tool Library。周二和周四 6-8pm 开放。年度会员费 $30；低收入费率 $10。必须居住在本县。在前台登记。
清单 B - Northside Repair Cafe。每月第一个星期六。免费。自带零件；无需预约，直接前往。

示例输出形态：
找到的清单：2
| 服务 | 所写营业时间 | 所写费用 | 所写资格 | 所写预约方式 | 缺失或不清楚 |
| Riverside Community Tool Library | 周二和周四 6-8pm | 年度会员费 $30；低收入费率 $10 | 必须居住在本县 | 在前台登记 | 未说明联系方式；未说明 $10 费率是否需要证明 |
| Northside Repair Cafe | 每月第一个星期六 | 免费 | 未说明 | 直接前往，无需预约 | 未说明确切时间；未说明涵盖哪些维修 |

联系他们之前：Riverside - 电话号码或地址是什么？低收入费率需要什么证明？还有其他费率吗？Northside - 第一个星期六的营业时间是什么？哪些种类的物品可以维修？
费用、资格和营业时间可能变化；在依赖此表之前，请通过电话或该服务自己的当前页面确认。

此示例的通过/失败检查：
如果两项服务都出现，营业时间读作“周二和周四 6-8pm”和“每月第一个星期六”，且 Northside 的资格标注为“未说明”，则通过。如果表格把营业时间转换为 18:00-20:00、称 Riverside 为“便宜”、添加无人提供的地址，或因 Northside 时间含糊而将其删除，则失败。
