Need to Compare Options
Reduce a crowded garment list to a focused range that covers key customer needs without repeated silhouettes, unclear roles, or unnecessary sampling.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Cut a long garment list before sampling by exposing duplicate ideas, missing range functions, weak concept links, and styles that cost more than they add.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Build overlap groups
Group styles that serve the same visual, functional, or construction purpose rather than comparing the whole list at once.
03
Assign range roles
Give each garment a job in the range before deciding whether it deserves a place.
04
Mark duplication and competition
Separate useful repetition from styles that compete for the same slot without adding enough difference.
05
Score the styles
Apply the same decision criteria to every garment so preference doesn't quietly replace range logic.
06
Make the first cut
Remove weak or redundant styles before trying to arrange the final lineup.
07
Build the range architecture
Arrange the remaining styles into a lineup that works as a range, not just a set of individually strong garments.
08
Test balance and outfit value
Check whether garments support one another and whether the range offers enough variation without losing focus.
09
Resolve borderline styles
Compare close choices directly and account for their effects on the rest of the range.
10
Lock the edit and next actions
Turn the analysis into a working handoff for sketch refinement, costing, and sample planning.

Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Describe the central idea, mood, references, and design rules that should hold the range together.
0/10000
Describe who the range is for, where the clothes are worn, and what the clothes need to do.
0/10000
List every garment under consideration, one style per line, with any known silhouette, feature, fabric, color, or style-code details.
0/10000
Enter the maximum number of distinct styles allowed in the first range.
Rank the outcomes that matter most, such as concept impact, outfit building, commercial ease, category coverage, or low development effort.
0/10000
List limits involving budget, sample capacity, fabrics, blocks, suppliers, construction time, price position, or launch timing.
0/10000
List any styles, categories, fabrics, or signature details that must remain, along with the reason for each.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
List each garment on its own line and add a short description. If a detail is unknown, write “unknown” instead of filling it in.
Use the suggested edit as a decision aid. Review the final lineup against sketches, fabric access, sample capacity, and the intended customer before locking it.
Advanced instructions
Include style codes, silhouette notes, fabrication, color intent, target price position, construction risk, and shared blocks or components when available.
Challenge the scoring weights if the range has a specific strategic goal, such as image-building, wholesale breadth, direct-to-consumer conversion, or low sample investment. Run a second edit with different weights if the decision remains close.
Use this when
Your garment list keeps growing, several styles feel similar, or you need to decide what belongs in the first range before development or sampling starts.
You'll need
- Concept anchor
- Customer and wearing context
- Full garment list
- Target style count
- Range priorities
- Development constraints
- Nonnegotiables
You'll get
- Every proposed style assigned a clear range role
- Every proposed style marked keep, combine, cut, or hold
- Final keep list at or below the target style count
- Major overlaps and missing range functions documented
- First-range lineup checked for styling value and development load
- Borderline decisions isolated for final review
By the end of this playbook
You will have:

- Every proposed style marked keep, combine, cut, or hold
- Final keep list at or below the target style count
- Major overlaps and missing range functions documented
- First-range lineup checked for styling value and development load
- Borderline decisions isolated for final review
