Turn the inquiry into a clear brief
An inquiry is not yet a scope. Assemble a clarification around the desired result, available input and next question.
The sample uses prepared content; it does not generate AI answers. For an AI conversation, take the starter to ChatGPT.
Put this to work.
Use the starter in ChatGPT or work with Kevin on your own situation.
Try it in ChatGPT
Copy the starter, open ChatGPT and paste it into a conversation. Add only the details you want to share. Nothing is sent automatically.
Review the starter for ChatGPT
ChatGPT access and features depend on your account. Keep private details out until you understand the settings of the service you use.
Choose how you want help.
Get guidance while you do the work, or ask Kevin to scope and deliver an agreed result.
Guidance and finished work are priced separately. You and Kevin agree the scope and price before work begins.
A working local example. Your changes stay in this page until you choose to save, copy or download. No AI model is called.
A draft to make your own
Read it aloud, check the details, and adjust anything that does not sound like you.
Your draft
- Hi Alex, I would like to understand the result before suggesting a scope. You want the weekly summary to be easier to use, but we have not yet identified the main errors or the intended reader. Please share an anonymized sample and describe one decision the report should make easier. That will help us choose a bounded first step we can both check.
This local template assembles your words. Tone changes greetings and framing; it does not rewrite meaning or call an AI model. Nothing is sent.
For the moments like this.
A prospective client asks whether you can make a report better, but the message does not explain who uses it or what currently goes wrong. You want to help without guessing the project into existence. Practice a fictional clarification that connects the desired result, available input, and next question in a short draft.
What becomes possible
Edit a clarification around what you understand and what you still need to ask. Read the assembled draft for assumptions that the prospective client has not confirmed.
Sources, capability notes and how this example works
This local experience uses authored sample content and deterministic controls. Changing an input updates the example; no model runs, outside records are checked, or real-world actions are performed. Use the sources for the underlying AI capabilities and audience context, and the human check above when you apply the idea.
