Why a short prompt can score 100
Only the components a prompt's task needs count, so a short prompt that gives them all loses nothing.
ROIP doesn't check a prompt for seven boxes. Each kind of task always needs some components (Core), needs some only when the prompt calls for them (Situational), and doesn't use the rest. A prompt is graded only on what it needed.
- A simple factual question needs little more than the question itself, so a clear one can score 100.
- Core components always count for that kind of task, even in a short prompt.
- Situational components count only when the grader judges that prompt needs them.
- What a prompt does changes what it needs: a Refinement, for example, is graded on Direction, and on Constraints when it needs them. See Turns and the session score.
- Details from earlier turns of the same task, and files you attach, count as given.
A component you gave earns full credit, half when the grader isn't sure, and none when it's missing. Padding a prompt with components its task doesn't use won't raise your score.
