Your prompt
Write 10 headline options for a piece about why our support team switched from Slack to a shared inbox. The core, verifiable point of the piece is: average response time dropped from 6 hours to 45 minutes after the switch.
Cover at least these styles, one headline each, and label the style in brackets: how-to, question, number/list, contrarian, benefit-led, curiosity gap, direct statement. Fill the rest with whichever styles fit best. Every headline must be something the piece can actually back up — no promising a twist, secret or result that average response time dropped from 6 hours to 45 minutes after the switch doesn't support. If average response time dropped from 6 hours to 45 minutes after the switch is too thin to support a given style honestly, skip that style instead of forcing a dishonest one.

Why this prompt works
- →Naming the styles up front (how-to, question, number...) forces variety along dimensions that actually differ, instead of ten rewordings of the same headline.
- →Anchoring every headline to one verifiable point is the guardrail against clickbait — a headline that isn't licensed by that fact gets skipped rather than invented.
- →Labelling each headline with its style makes the output scannable and lets you pick a style on purpose instead of guessing what a headline is going for.
