YOUR INPUTS
Build your result
Complete every field. The result updates only when you choose Calculate.
How it works
Count prompt rewrites
Substantial prompt changes point to an underspecified initial ask.
Count manual corrections
Fixes made to the output itself point to output-quality issues rather than prompt issues.

Frequently asked questions
Why separate prompt rewrites from manual corrections?
They point to different root causes — many rewrites suggest the prompt itself needed work, while many corrections suggest the model's output needed cleanup even with a good prompt.
What's a good efficiency score?
There's no universal target — the value is in comparing similar tasks over time to see whether your prompting or workflow improvements are actually reducing iteration cost.
Should I track this for every task?
It's most useful for tasks you repeat often, or when trying to improve how you prompt for a specific kind of work — tracking one-off tasks has less value.
How is the score calculated?
A starting score of 100 is reduced by fixed amounts per extra attempt, prompt rewrite, and manual correction — simple, transparent arithmetic.

Notion and Linear can log attempts manually in a table, but neither scores efficiency or separates prompt-cost from output-cost automatically. This tool turns a quick self-report into an actionable diagnosis.
