Balance

Balance refers to the overall effectiveness of the structure and makeup of a prompt version. When the balance of a prompt version is analyzed, the prompt's content is broken down into meaningful phrases, which are then categorized to determine the balance of the prompt.

Balance analysis can be performed and retrieved on individual prompt versions using their specific balance endpoints. You can also analyze the balance for prompts without a version stored in the system by using the non-version specific endpoint.

Prompt phrases are put into one of the following categories:

Phrase Category Description
Instruction Tells AI models what needs to be done. Ideal distribution is 20% - 35%.
Entity Gives AI models context and specificity. Ideal distribution is 20% - 35%.
Concept Defines themes and abstract ideas for AI models to consider. Ideal distribution is 15% - 30%.
Detail Supporting context to help refine AI responses. Ideal distribution is 15% - 30%.

The categories are then analyzed to determine their distribution, as one of the following:

Category Distribution Description
Balanced The prompt has the right amount of phrases in that category to ensure high-quality AI responses.
Overused There are too many phrases in that category that could lead to overly complex, unfocused output.
Underused There aren't enough phrases in that category for the AI model to produce meaningful results.
