I scored 500 AI prompts across 8 quality dimensions — here's what broke

Most teams are getting 10 to 30% of what their LLM model can actually do.Not because the model is weak. Because the prompt is. I’ve spent the last two weeks scoring prompts. Real ones, from real builders, across real verticals, against an 8-dimension quality rubric. This weekend I ran another 500 through the scorer to pressure-test the pattern. Every dataset converges on the same number: the average production prompt scores 13 to 16 out of 80. That’s 17 to 20% of what the rubric says a well-form
