  "supportingContext": "The article presents POWER as a five-step prompting methodology distilled from observing how top performers leverage AI tools in workplace settings. Each step uses role-positioning prompts that assign the AI a specific expert persona before requesting analysis, critique, ideation, stakeholder framing, or implementation planning. The author supports the framework with practitioner anecdotes spanning product management, financial analysis, marketing, and project management, though these are self-reported cases rather than controlled studies. The framework is designed for modular deployment, with abbreviated combinations for daily tasks and the full sequence reserved for high-stakes deliverables. Readers are directed to a downloadable prompt package on GitHub for direct implementation.",
