Replace informal test run name with neutral 'SpicedNutSnack_v1' throughout the proposal. Content and analysis unchanged.
…red dimensions Incorporates feedback from Simon and Mark: - Location is load-bearing: jurisdiction determines regulations, suppliers, market - Budget/scale matters: moonshot vs micro-business changes everything - Break down each missing dimension with concrete impact explanation - SpicedSnackCo_v1 example now properly credited as having location+channel - Scoring dimensions listed explicitly with priority guidance - A prompt missing location should never score above 'fair'

Proposal 129: The Prompt Dentist — Pre-Pipeline Prompt Enrichment
Empirical finding from the SpicedSnackCo_v1 pipeline run (2026-03-29) that challenges Proposal 128's conclusion that the Execute Plan section is always template-driven autopilot.
Key finding
An operationally dense prompt (3 SKUs, packaging specs, CT/RI market, DTC + farmers markets channel) produced 274 WBS tasks with domain-specific descriptions — not the ~32K generic block seen in P128's comparison runs. The quality ceiling is primarily a prompt limitation, not a pipeline limitation.
The gap
Most user prompts are missing critical dimensions that the pipeline needs to produce specific plans:
A prompt missing location should never score above "fair" regardless of other detail — location is load-bearing.
Proposal
A pre-pipeline "prompt dentist" that:
Cheapest intervention with the highest quality multiplier.
