Stop Guessing: Use the Three Tiers of TPS to Improve LLM Adherence and Predictable Output

Have you ever tried to get a complex, multi-step output from an AI only to have it ignore your constraints?

The problem isn't the model's intelligence—it's the ambiguity of human language. Without a shared, structured vocabulary, your conversations with an LLM will always be unpredictable.

We developed the TeeZe Prompting System™ (TPS) to solve this. TPS creates a simple, shared lexicon between you and the AI, dramatically improving reliability by translating your intent into a language the AI is optimized to understand.

The Core Solution: The Three Tiers of Communication

TPS introduces a methodology where you match your communication style to the task's complexity using three Tiers:

🔨 Tier 1: The Simple Request: For quick, single-shot tasks (e.g., "Translate this phrase").
- Structure: Instruction: [What to do]
📐 Tier 2: The Blueprint: For complex, multi-step projects (e.g., "Create a project plan").
- Structure: A formal framework including Task Definition, Process Steps, and Constraints.
🧠 Tier 3: The Brainstorming Session: For open-ended, iterative, collaborative exploration (e.g., "Poke holes in this business idea").

Example: Using the Tier 2 Blueprint

To get truly predictable, structured output, the Tier 2 Blueprint is essential. It forces the AI to adopt a role and follow a defined process:

Task Definition: Create a 3-day workout plan for a beginner.
Role Assignment: Act as a certified personal trainer.
Process Steps:
1. Define the goal for each of the 3 days.
2. For each day, list 5 exercises with a brief description.
3. Add a "Warm-Up" and "Cool-Down" section.
Output Format: A simple, easy-to-read list for each day.
Constraints: Do not include exercises that require specialized gym equipment.

The Built-in Ethical Guardrails

Beyond clarity, TPS incorporates a foundational Ethical Monitoring Function (EMF) into its Master System Prompt. This "Moral Compass" is a set of seven core principles that bind the AI, ensuring your interactions remain helpful, harmless, and fair.
