Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
You can catch vague requirements, unsupported assumptions, and competing goals before they cause redesign, delay coordination, or weaken your recommendations.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

Paste the brief as written, even if it feels incomplete. Add your project stage and next design task so your results focus on decisions that matter now. Review every flagged item before you share it.

Add meeting notes, room data, consultant comments, and prior approvals to your known context. After you get the analysis, keep only the questions that could change your immediate design direction, coordination, cost, or approval path.
