ChatGPT numbers the ideas, writes the neutral options and runs a side-by-side check. You settle the voting rule.
List the ideas
Number and draft
Judge the differences
List the rule points
Settle the rule
Use: You
Have ready: the suggestions as received. List each idea on its own line (S1, S2, S3...).
Compare the paste with the originals: no idea may be dropped or merged, and nothing points to one person.
Use: ChatGPT
Ask for a numbered list, one neutral option per idea and a side-by-side check of each option against its idea.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Number my ideas, then turn each into one neutral ballot option, in the same order. Give the ideas numbers S1, S2... . Keep one option per idea. Do not merge ideas. If two look alike, keep both and add 'possibly similar - person decides'. Remove any wording that praises, criticises or shows who suggested it. Add the suggestion number beside each option. Do not add options. Ideas: [paste the de-identified suggestions]. Second message, after your check: Task: Check my ballot against my ideas. Below are my numbered ideas and my ballot. Pair each ballot option with the idea it came from and list: any option whose meaning changed or was merged with another idea, any idea missing an option or option without an idea, and any wording that praises, criticises or could point to a person. Do not rewrite the options; list the differences only. Ideas: [paste the cleaned numbered list]. Ballot: [paste the ballot].
Use: You
Accept or reject each flagged difference and correct the ballot; a missed difference is possible, so read it again.
Check the count of options equals the count of ideas and the wording is neutral.
Use: ChatGPT
Ask for the points the voting rule needs to settle, each marked 'to confirm', with no results.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Ask for the points the rule needs to settle.

Mark each 'to confirm'. Do not choose answers and do not invent results. Ballot: [paste the corrected ballot].
Use: You
Settle the voting rule yourself and read the ballot once more.
The voting rule is yours to settle; nothing is sent. Remove the suggestion numbers from the version colleagues see.
