Use AI to review your proposal or pitch for weak spots that might make someone say no.
1. Paste your proposal, pitch, or request into ChatGPT — whether it's asking for budget, buy-in, resources, or approval. 2. Ask AI to play the role of a skeptical decision-maker and identify weak spots: unclear benefits, missing details, unsupported claims, or anything that might trigger a 'no' or a bunch of follow-up questions. 3. Review the AI's feedback and look for patterns — are you missing cost justification? Is the timeline unrealistic? Did you forget to address risks or alternatives? 4. Revise your proposal based on the feedback, adding evidence, clarifying vague sections, or tightening your reasoning where it's weak. 5. Run the updated version through AI one more time with a simple question: 'What's the strongest objection someone could still raise?' Use that to add one final reinforcement. 6. Send your proposal knowing you've already stress-tested it against the toughest questions before anyone else sees it.
