Designing Bell inequalities from a Tsirelson bound

We present a simple analytic bound on the quantum value of general correlation type Bell inequalities, similar to Tsirelson's bound. It is based on the maximal singular value of the coefficient matrix associated with the inequality. We provide a criterion for tightness of the bound and show that the class of inequalities where our bound is tight covers many famous examples from the literature. We describe how this bound helps to construct Bell inequalities, in particular inequalities that witness the dimension of the measured observables.
