How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before any pitch, partnership discussion, or commercial proposal

PRO TIP

The executive summary will be forwarded on internally β€” make it standalone. If it doesn't compel action on its own, the proposal won't progress.
