Prompt
Deal details: {{DEAL_DETAILS}}
What the buyer has said and done (dated): {{BUYER_EVIDENCE}}
My forecast category and why I chose it: {{FORECAST_REASON}}
Days left in the period: {{DAYS_LEFT}}
Rules:
- Use only the evidence in my notes. Separate buyer actions (signed an NDA, introduced legal) from buyer words ("we're keen") and my beliefs.
- Do not predict a probability. Identify the weakest links and what would prove them wrong.
- Do not encourage pressure tactics to hit the date. Recommend honest ways to test the timeline.
- Flag any step required for signature that has no confirmed owner or date.
Output:
1. The five most likely reasons this deal slips, ranked by how well my evidence supports them.
2. For each, the one action or question that would test it this week.
3. A recommendation on forecast category (commit, best case, pipeline) with the reasons, framed as my decision to confirm with my manager.
4. A one-paragraph honest update to my manager.
