Perform market research on cultural demand

Perform market research on cultural demand — real work, not an imagined feature: named inside 15 evidenced career tasks. Below are four ready AI prompts for it, one per height of help: do it, make it easier to accept, decide when you are stuck, and change the pattern for good.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I have a sheet of survey counts, ticket sales and regional population by county for cultural events. Send the cleaned market-research workbook to Maria in programming and to Raj in strategy for review with a Friday deadline — but first check every county has a clear demand metric and that the pivot summary matches the raw counts.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I hand this to the programming team, make it easy to act on. Bring the demand-per-capita figure to the top, add a small table showing overnight growth in attendance versus baseline, and flag any county where sample size is under 50 or trend is flat for three quarters so a programmer won't overbook.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I merged two county datasets and totals shifted.

I merged last quarter’s phone survey with the online signups and the county totals changed; Maria will assume the pivot is wrong and programming will book venues based on the first sheet. I don’t know which source should take precedence or whether duplicated respondents caused the shift. What is the most likely cause and the safest next step to reconcile counts before I send it to Raj and Maria?

Become — change the pattern

We repeatedly rework county-level demand after merges.

Every quarter we lose hours reconciling county totals after bringing in a new survey or signup export. It costs trust with programming and pushes venue decisions late. Where are we most likely leaking time and credibility in our workflow, and what single habit could I change to stop late reconciliations and make the top-line demand metric reliable?

Where the evidence lives

Who was seen doing this, and what people really ask.

Software tasks in the LLOS Work Atlas come from evidence, never a feature list: careers attested to do the work, real job descriptions, and the questions people actually ask (with their view counts). Facets — feature, workflow, troubleshoot, administer, deploy, scale — are open metadata: the work decides, not a taxonomy.
