Write a PRD

Can the model turn a brief into a spec engineers could build from, including how an AI feature behaves when it is wrong?

Task type v1.2 · 2 tasksLast changed 6 Oct 2026 · ChangelogDifficulty

What AI gets right here, and what you’ll still have to catch

From 16 graded outputs by 8 models. 25% were usable with at most a quick edit.

Reliably right

  1. Specifies AI failure behaviour100% pass
    It specifies what happens when uncertain or wrong: block ownership, show retry states, disable assignments on violation, and never fall back to calendar data.
    GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT · Meeting summaries with action items
  2. Builds the regulator's rules in100% pass
    All three rules (2-business-day acknowledge, 15-business-day resolve or explain, no harder than paying) appear as testable requirements R8, R10, R13.
    Sonnet 5.5 · API · Disputes that aren't disputes
  3. Produces the required deliverable94% pass
    The PRD is complete, written for engineering and design leads, within the 1,000–1,500 word range, and directly actionable.

Where it slips

  1. Proposes tests that could fail36% pass
    Launch gates have numeric thresholds and actions, but lack explicit measurement windows (e.g., pilot duration, number of meetings) needed to read out results.
    GPT-6.1 Sol · API · Meeting summaries with action items
  2. Avoids unsupported claims42% pass
    Presents the join log and identity tiers as established facts without labelling them as assumptions, when the context provides no support.
    Opus 5.5 · Claude · Meeting summaries with action items
  3. Uses the supplied evidence correctly44% pass
    The output invents a join log and identity tiers (Verified, Guest, Room) that are not in the supplied context, making unsupported claims about the current system.

How it’s graded

Each check is built on how world-class product and growth leaders do this work, as they’ve described it on Lenny’s Podcast, and names the leader it comes from.

  1. Success settles trade-offs

    Does the PRD define success as a measurable outcome with a target and time frame, and say which goal wins when two of them conflict?

    Passes when Names a success metric with a target and time frame, and gives at least one explicit trade-off rule (for example, accepting lower coverage to keep precision above a stated level).

  2. Says who it's for, and who it isn't

    Does the PRD name the specific users it is for, say explicitly who it is not for, and make at least one scope decision that follows from that choice?

    Passes when Names the target users and at least one group it deliberately leaves out, and a scope decision visibly follows from the exclusion.

  3. Plans how people will find it

    Does the PRD say how the feature reaches people: how it rolls out, how users discover it, and who needs to be ready for it (support, sales), rather than stopping at what to build?

    Passes when Gives a staged rollout, a way users will discover the feature, and the teams that need to be ready, all fitted to this feature.

Plus our standard checks

Uses the supplied evidence correctly · Addresses the actual decision · Respects explicit constraints · Identifies material uncertainty · Avoids unsupported claims · Produces the required deliverable · Proposes tests that could fail · and 2 written for each task, which you’ll see in the tasks below.

The tasks

Read the brief, then compare up to three outputs, each with the LLM judge’s verdict on every check. Highlights mark what a PM had to fix.

The brief

You're the PM for card servicing at Clearbank. Write the PRD for self-serve disputes in the app, as Imogen asks below. It goes to the squad (engineering, design, support operations and compliance) who'll build it next quarter. 1,000 to 1,400 words. The dispute export and the background are attached.

What the model was given6 items: About Clearbank, imogen_note.md, how_disputes_work_today.md, regulator_rules.md, disputes_sample_last_quarter.csv (a random sample of 400 of last quarter's 2,400 disputes), merchant_data_option.md

From Imogen (Head of Product): "Write the PRD for self-serve disputes in the app. Support says it's their biggest cost after card freezes. The PRD goes to the squad (engineering, design, support ops and compliance) who will build it next quarter. 1,000 to 1,400 words."

# How disputes work today

Customers raise a dispute by chatting to support. An agent collects details, then either explains the payment or opens a chargeback. Agents spend about 11 minutes per dispute. 2,400 disputes last quarter; 14% of them were resolved later than the regulator's deadline.

Card transactions show the merchant's billing name (for example "SQ *BRKLYN BAGEL 0412"), not its trading name or logo.

# Regulator's rules (summary from Legal)

- Acknowledge a dispute within 2 business days.
- Resolve genuine disputes within 15 business days, or tell the customer why it's taking longer.
- Don't make it harder to raise a dispute than to make a payment.

# Merchant data we could use

Our card processor offers an enriched merchant feed (trading name, logo, location, website) for 94% of transactions, at $0.0008 per transaction. We process about 9 million card transactions a month.
What a strong answer doesThe answer key the graders mark against

Starts from the data: in the sample, 232 of 400 disputes (58%, so about 1,400 of the quarter's 2,400) were 'I don't recognise this payment', and 169 of those (about three in four) were resolved simply by showing the merchant's details; so the first thing to build is recognisable transactions (trading name, logo, location from the enriched feed, about $7,200 a month for 9 million transactions), shown before someone raises a dispute, with self-serve disputes for the genuine cases. Defines success with targets (disputes per 1,000 transactions, share resolved without an agent, regulator deadlines met against 14% late today) and says which wins when they conflict (never make disputing harder than paying, per the regulator). Covers the flows for genuine disputes (charged twice, not received, cancelled subscription, fraud) with acknowledgement within 2 business days and resolution within 15, what happens when the merchant data is missing (6% of transactions), and how the rollout reaches people, with support ready. Says who it's not for (for example business accounts, or disputes over a set amount that still go to an agent) and what's out of scope.

PRD: Self-serve card disputes

Owner: Card Servicing PM Delivery: Next quarter Squad: Engineering, Design, Support Operations, Compliance Status: Proposed; merchant-data procurement and legal implementation require approval

1. Problem and product decision

Today, customers must chat with support to question a card payment. Agents collect information, explain payments or open chargebacks, spending approximately 11 minutes per dispute. Last quarter’s 2,400 disputes consumed approximately 440 agent hours; 14% were resolved later than the regulator’s deadline.

The opportunity is not simply to replace chat with a chargeback form. Many customers need help identifying a payment; others need fast access to a genuine dispute or fraud investigation.

We will build a transaction-level journey that helps customers understand payments, submit unresolved concerns without an agent, and track progress. Identification help must remain optional: it must never become a barrier to reporting fraud or disputing a payment.

2. Evidence and economics

The random sample of 400 disputes shows:

FindingProduct implication
233 began “I don’t recognise this payment.” Of these, 170 ended with customer recognition and 63 with confirmed fraud.Show useful merchant information, but never assume an unfamiliar payment is legitimate.
Recognition-only cases represent 42.5% of the sample.Preventing confusion is a major opportunity, not a secondary feature.
Of 47 duplicate complaints, 24 were separate purchases and 23 were refunded duplicates.Offer comparison information without automatically dismissing claims.
57 concerned non-receipt, 27 cancelled subscriptions, and 36 explicitly reported fraud.Provide reason-specific intake and operational routing.

Extrapolating recognition-only cases suggests approximately 1,020 cases, or 187 agent hours, per quarter could theoretically be avoided. This is an optimistic ceiling, not a savings forecast.

The processor’s enriched merchant feed covers 94% of transactions. At nine million transactions monthly, it costs $7,200/month or $21,600/quarter. Recognition-only savings would require approximately $116 per avoided agent hour just to cover that fee, before development costs and incomplete coverage.

Therefore, we will not approve blanket feed purchasing on support savings alone. Engineering and Procurement must confirm selective-lookup availability, pricing and data quality. The squad will build an enrichment-compatible detail view, using existing verified information initially if necessary. Full-feed adoption requires a separate business case, including measured recognition improvements.

The export does not identify business versus calendar days or extension notices. We cannot use it alone to reconstruct regulatory breaches.

3. Goals, measures and guardrails

Targets apply to the first full quarter after rollout and are hypotheses unless regulatory:

  • Reduce agent handling hours per 1,000 active card customers by 25%, against a matched baseline; include follow-up contacts and operational review.
  • Achieve 70% self-serve submission among submitted in-scope disputes.
  • Acknowledge 100% within two business days.
  • Resolve genuine disputes, or send a substantive explanation of delay, within 15 business days in 100% of cases.
  • No deterioration in confirmed-fraud reporting time, repeat complaints or accessibility versus baseline.

Track median and p90 resolution time separately from deadline compliance. An extension notice is not a resolution.

Instrument detail views, help entry, recognition confirmations, reason selection, submission, abandonment, support handoff, case updates and outcomes. Report by reason and enrichment availability. Only explicit recognition counts as recognition success; exits do not.

4. Scope

Included: Mobile-app debit-card payment identification, intake for the five sampled reasons plus “Something else,” evidence upload, case acknowledgement, status tracking, operational routing and deadline controls.

Excluded: Automated liability decisions, automatic chargeback adjudication, rebuilding card-scheme integrations, non-card disputes, and a new refund policy. Existing specialists retain responsibility for investigation, refunds and chargebacks.

Pending payments must have an accessible reporting route, even if a chargeback cannot yet proceed. Explain the distinction and route suspected fraud immediately. Support remains available throughout.

5. Customer experience and requirements

A. Understand the payment

Transaction details display the original billing descriptor, amount, date and available verified merchant information. Enriched trading name, logo, location and website appear when available and sufficiently reliable; retain the descriptor for traceability. Missing or uncertain matches must not block the journey or imply legitimacy.

Provide prominent “Report a problem” and “I didn’t make this payment” actions. Identification guidance is skippable. Only an explicit “I recognise this payment” ends the identification journey; customers can return later to dispute it.

B. Raise a concern

Prefill transaction and customer details. Let customers choose:

  • Unrecognised / not authorised: Submit directly to the fraud team; offer the existing card-freeze action without making freezing a prerequisite.
  • Charged twice: Show potentially related transactions and let customers select the second payment or continue without finding it. Similar amounts do not prove duplication.
  • Goods or services not received: Ask what was expected and the expected delivery date.
  • Cancelled subscription: Ask when cancellation occurred and invite supporting evidence.
  • Something else: Accept a short description and route for triage.

Collect a concise account of the problem. Request receipts, cancellation confirmations and merchant correspondence where useful, but permit evidence later. Merchant contact is not a universal submission prerequisite.

Customers review and submit without re-entering known information. Save drafts, support screen readers and dynamic text, and provide contextual support with entered details preserved.

C. Acknowledge and track

After durable case creation, immediately display a case reference, receipt timestamp, summary and next-update date. Deliver an in-app acknowledgement and notification; do not rely solely on push delivery.

The case screen shows understandable states: Received, Under review, Information needed, Awaiting external response, Resolved. Show outstanding requests, update history and any refund status separately.

Resolution includes the decision, explanation and support/escalation route. Never promise a refund or successful chargeback.

6. Operational and technical requirements

Create one case record shared by app and support, containing the transaction, reported reason, narrative, attachments, owner, timestamps, deadlines and communication history.

Submission must be idempotent. Retries cannot create duplicate cases; an existing case should be surfaced with an option to add information. Confirm receipt only after persistence. Failed submissions retain entered data and expose a support fallback.

Support Operations owns reason-based queues, fraud prioritisation, daily deadline monitoring and capacity planning. Agents can request evidence, change routing, record decisions and send approved updates without asking customers to repeat information.

Engineering must implement:

  • Configurable business-day calendars and deadline calculation.
  • Alerts before deadlines, including day-one acknowledgement and day-ten/day-fourteen resolution warnings.
  • Escalation to a named operational owner before breach.
  • Reconciliation between app submissions and operational queues.
  • Encryption, role-based access, attachment validation and auditable state changes.

Compliance must approve clock-start rules, holidays, retention, extension wording and any additional fraud/refund obligations. Preserve the earliest report timestamp across channels; asking for evidence must not silently reset deadlines. Delay notices must explain the actual reason and next update, not merely mark cases compliant.

7. Delivery, acceptance and rollout

Weeks 1–2: Validate merchant-data options; audit existing case-system integration; agree legal rules; baseline reason-level handling time. Design tests prototypes with customers, including accessibility needs.

Weeks 3–8: Build intake, case integration, tracking and deadline controls. Develop merchant-detail improvements in parallel without making reporting dependent on enrichment.

Weeks 9–10: Run end-to-end testing, operational rehearsal and a limited pilot. Test missing merchant data, uncertain matches, fraud bypass, pending payments, failed uploads, repeat taps, holiday deadlines and cross-channel reporting.

Weeks 11–12: Expand progressively after Engineering, Support Operations and Compliance sign-off.

Launch requires zero lost or duplicate cases in acceptance tests, correct deadline calculations, accessible submission, and verified acknowledgement delivery. Design and Compliance must demonstrate that raising a dispute is no harder than making a payment, using comparative journey testing rather than assuming a form satisfies the rule.

Pause expansion for lost submissions, misleading merchant matches, increased fraud-reporting delay or deteriorating deadline compliance. Rollback must preserve existing cases, clocks and customer access to support.

Product Requirements Document (PRD): Self-Serve Card Disputes & Merchant Enrichment

Author: PM, Card Servicing Target Audience: Engineering, Design, Support Operations, Compliance Timeline: Build scheduled for Q3

---

1. Executive Summary & Background

At Clearbank, customer card servicing is foundational to trust. Currently, raising a debit card dispute requires customers to engage our support team via in-app chat. Agents spend an average of 11 minutes per dispute collecting information, diagnosing issues, and routing chargebacks. Last quarter alone, we handled 2,400 disputes.

This process creates two major organizational pain points: 1. High Operational Costs: Support operations report that disputes represent their second-largest cost center, trailing only card freezes. 2. Regulatory Exposure: Last quarter, 14% of disputes were resolved later than the regulator’s deadline (acknowledgement within 2 business days; resolution within 15 business days).

Furthermore, an analysis of last quarter’s dispute data reveals a systemic UX failure: 52% of all disputes raised under "I don't recognise this payment" were instantly resolved the moment a support agent displayed the merchant's actual trading name and location. For example, a charge appearing on a bank statement as `SQ *BRKLYN BAGEL 0412` causes immediate confusion because raw payment gateway billing names obscure true merchant identities.

This PRD outlines a two-part solution for next quarter: 1. In-app Self-Serve Disputes: Allowing customers to independently file, track, and manage card disputes directly within the Clearbank mobile application, meeting all regulatory timelines effortlessly. 2. Merchant Data Enrichment: Integrating an enriched merchant feed (trading names, logos, maps, and websites) for 94% of transactions, neutralizing over half of unrecognized payment disputes before they ever begin.

---

2. Product Goals & Success Metrics

Goals

  • Empower customers to resolve transaction ambiguities and file disputes without human intervention.
  • Drastically reduce support agent handling time and operational expenses.
  • Ensure 100% compliance with regulatory response and resolution deadlines.
  • Improve statement clarity to eliminate unnecessary friction.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Support Cost Reduction: Decrease support-handled dispute volume by 70% within 3 months of launch.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Achieve 0% breach rate on 2-day acknowledgement and 15-day resolution deadlines.
  • Deflection via Enrichment: Reduce "I don't recognise this payment" inbound queries by 45% simply by surfacing clean merchant data on transaction rows.
  • Time to Resolution: Lower average dispute resolution time from ~8 days (human-driven) to under 3 days (automated intake and routing).

---

3. Regulatory Framework & Legal Guardrails

Per Clearbank’s Legal and Compliance team, the automated dispute flow must strictly adhere to the following mandates: * Acknowledgement: The system must automatically issue a formal acknowledgement to the customer within 2 business days of submission. * Resolution Window: Genuine disputes must be resolved within 15 business days. If an investigation requires more time (e.g., complex chargebacks), the system must automatically notify the customer with an explanation before the window closes. * Friction Parity: The regulator explicitly mandates that “it must not be harder to raise a dispute than it is to make a payment.” The self-serve flow must be intuitive, frictionless, and accessible in 3 taps or fewer from any transaction details screen.

---

4. Product Scope & User Experience

Phase 1: Merchant Data Enrichment (The Deflection Layer)

To prevent unnecessary dispute creation, we will integrate our card processor’s enriched merchant feed for 94% of transactions at a cost of $0.0008 per transaction (~$7,200/month for 9M monthly transactions).

  • Transaction View Upgrade: When a user taps a transaction, instead of seeing raw billing strings like `SQ *BRKLYN BAGEL 0412`, they will see:
  • Clean Trading Name ("Brooklyn Bagel Co.")
  • Verified Merchant Logo
  • Interactive Map Pin / Location
  • Merchant Website / Support Link
  • Impact: This immediately addresses the root cause of our most frequent dispute category ("I don't recognise this payment"), allowing customers to instantly self-authenticate transactions.

Phase 2: In-App Self-Serve Dispute Flow

For transactions that genuinely require a dispute, customers can access a streamlined, step-by-step wizard directly from the transaction detail view ("Report an issue with this payment").

#### Step 1: Reason Selection The customer selects from four standardized dispute categories (aligned with our historical data taxonomy): 1. I don't recognise this payment (Includes suspected fraud). 2. I didn't receive what I paid for (Goods/services never delivered). 3. Subscription I cancelled (Charged after formal cancellation). 4. I was charged twice (Duplicate processing).

#### Step 2: Contextual Interactive Questionnaire Depending on the selected reason, the app dynamically collects required evidence: * Unrecognized/Fraud: Instant card freeze toggle (if not already frozen), option to report card stolen, and automated device fingerprinting capture. * Non-receipt / Cancelled Subscriptions: Prompt to upload supporting documents (e.g., cancellation emails, screenshots of merchant terms) and confirmation of date contact was attempted with the merchant. * Duplicate Charges: Automatic cross-referencing of adjacent ledger entries to check for matching amounts within a 48-hour window.

#### Step 3: Submission & Instant Acknowledgement * Upon final confirmation, the app generates a unique dispute reference (e.g., `CB-50123`). * An immediate in-app confirmation screen and notification are triggered, satisfying the 2-day regulatory acknowledgement rule instantly.

#### Step 4: Dispute Tracker Hub * A dedicated "Disputes" section in the account settings allows users to track the real-time status of their claim (e.g., Submitted ➔ Under Review ➔ Chargeback Filed ➔ Resolved / Refunded). * Customers can upload additional evidence or message support directly within the specific dispute thread if further documentation is requested by operations.

5. Technical & Operational Requirements

Engineering (Core App & Backend)

  • Transaction Feed Integration: API integration with the card processor's enriched merchant database, ensuring asynchronous caching so transaction lists load without latency.
  • Dispute State Machine: Build a robust backend state machine handling dispute lifecycles, SLA timers (2-day/15-day alerts), and automated notifications.
  • Document Storage: Secure, encrypted document upload pipeline in AWS S3 for customer-submitted receipts and screenshots.

Design

  • Frictionless UI: Ensure mobile components comply with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and fit within standard iOS and Android design patterns.
  • Clear Microcopy: Avoid legal jargon; use plain language explaining chargeback timelines and merchant response windows.

Support Operations

  • Agent Dashboard Integration: Update the internal CRM/servicing tool so agents can review customer-submitted structured data, reducing average handling time from 11 minutes to under 3 minutes.
  • SLA Escalation Queues: Implement automated pager/dashboard alerts for disputes approaching the 12-day mark to prevent regulatory breaches.

Compliance

  • Audit Logging: Every state change, customer submission, and agent interaction must maintain an immutable audit trail for regulatory inspections.
  • Policy Rule Updates: Sign-off on automated disclosure text presented to users during the dispute submission flow.

---

Where they differ 6

Uses the supplied evidence correctlyRightWrong
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Every statement about the current situation is directly from the supplied context or follows by arithmetic.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Uses an incorrect statistic (52% instead of ~73%) and an unsupported average resolution time (~8 days) not found in the evidence.

Identifies material uncertaintyRightWrong
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Names unknowns in selective merchant data availability, pricing, data quality, and the export's day-type clarity, and ties them to actions that would resolve them.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Does not name unknown unknowns (e.g., impact of missing 6% merchant data, customer behaviour) or conditions that would change the decision.

Avoids unsupported claimsRightWrong
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Labels extrapolations as an 'optimistic ceiling, not a savings forecast' and distinguishes sample-based findings from forward-looking assumptions.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Presents the 52% and ~8-day resolution figures as established facts without labelling them as assumptions, and they are not supported by the evidence.

Finds that most disputes are recognitionRightMixed
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Computes that 58% of disputes are unrecognised payments and that most resolve by showing merchant details, then makes transaction recognition the first-scope item.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Does not compute that 58% of all disputes are 'I don't recognise' or state how many of those were resolved by showing details; the cited 52% is wrong, and the share of total disputes is missing.

Success settles trade-offsRightMixed
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Sets metrics with targets (25% reduction in handling hours, 70% self-serve) and establishes that the regulatory rule against making disputing harder wins over other goals.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Sets measurable targets with time frames but does not state which goal wins when they conflict (e.g., cost reduction vs. regulatory compliance).

Plans how people will find itWrongMixed
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Describes a staged rollout but never says how users will discover the feature (e.g., in-app notification, help entry) or who needs to be ready beyond support ops.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Mentions a phased rollout but does not describe how users will discover the feature or identify which teams (beyond support) need to be ready.

All got wrong 2

Proposes tests that could failWrongWrong
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Pause triggers like 'misleading merchant matches' or 'increased fraud-reporting delay' lack numeric thresholds and defined measurement windows.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

The beta test and phased rollout lack numeric thresholds, pass/fail criteria, or what action each outcome would trigger.

Says who it's for, and who it isn'tWrongWrong
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Does not explicitly name a user group it's not for (e.g., disputes above a set amount) and no scope decision visibly follows from such an exclusion.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Does not name the specific users it is for or explicitly say who it is not for (e.g., business accounts), and no scope decision visibly follows from an exclusion.

All got right 4

Addresses the actual decisionRightRight
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Commits to building a transaction-level journey with merchant detail view and self-serve disputes, deferring the full-feed purchase to a later business case.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Commits unambiguously to building in-app self-serve disputes and merchant enrichment, as requested, and names the readers.

Respects explicit constraintsRightRight
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Delivers a PRD within 1,000–1,400 words, addresses the named squad, and includes enforceable checks for the regulator's rule on dispute difficulty.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Fits within 1,000-1,400 words, addresses the named squad, and embeds the regulatory rules as enforceable requirements.

Produces the required deliverableRightRight
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Provides a complete PRD with scope, requirements, operational needs, and acceptance criteria that the squad could build from.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Provides a complete PRD in the right form for the squad, within the word limit, and could be acted on with light editing.

Builds the regulator's rules inRightRight
GPT-6 Astra · ChatGPT

Includes 2-business-day acknowledgement, 15-business-day resolution/explanation, and 'no harder than paying' as testable requirements.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite · Gemini

Turns all three regulatory mandates into testable requirements (2‑day acknowledgement, 15‑day resolution or explanation, friction parity with payments).

What you get for the cost

No setup scores within 5 points of the leader at half its cost or less here, so the leader is also the best value.

About the task

The PM job

Writing the requirements document a team will build and test against.

Why it matters

A PRD is where ambiguity becomes either a decision or a bug. For AI products it must also say what happens when the model is uncertain or wrong. Most generated PRDs skip that part.

What good looks like

  • States the user problem and the decision the PRD enables
  • Specifies behaviour under uncertainty, failure and refusal
  • Names eval criteria and a launch bar
  • Defines success precisely enough to settle trade-offs
  • Says what is out of scope

Deliberately not measured

  • Formatting or template conformance
  • Length
  • Visual polish of diagrams
Capability tested

Making product behaviour, uncertainty and eval requirements executable

The failure we’re looking for

A generic feature spec that ignores AI failure behaviour
