Decisions and plans
Before
What price should we set for the new product?
After
I think €49 a month is right because [your reasoning], based on this data [data]. Where is my reasoning weakest, and what am I missing?
Your part
Decide, and write down anything that changed your mind.
Why it works: Starting from your own view turns AI into a sparring partner and keeps the judgment yours.
Decisions and plans
Before
Here’s my plan to open an office in Lisbon. Why is it a good idea?
After
Here’s my plan to open an office in Lisbon (attached). Act as a skeptical CFO. Give me the three strongest reasons it could fail, the assumptions I’m making without evidence and the data that would change your mind.
Your part
Answer each objection in writing before you decide. If you can’t answer one yet, find the evidence you would need.
Why it works: A leading question invites agreement. Asking what a CFO would challenge gives the assistant a specific reason to examine the costs.
Decisions and plans
Before
Tell me which supplier to choose.
After
Compare these three supplier proposals against our criteria (attached) in a table, quoting the proposal for each score. Then list what I should verify before deciding.
Your part
Verify the listed points, decide, and save the table with your decision and the reason. If anyone asks later, you can show how you chose.
Why it works: Quoting the proposal for each score ties the comparison to evidence, and the list of checks keeps the decision with you.
