Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
You can paste rough notes instead of polished answers. Include the casting deadline, work dates, pay, location, and any firm boundary first. If you don’t know something, write “unknown” rather than guessing.
You should treat SUBMIT IF as a useful answer, not indecision. It means you have one important condition to check before spending more time.
Advanced instructions
You can add your recent audition results, relationship context, representation strategy, travel costs, exclusivity conflicts, and the kind of material you want more of. You can also change the factor order when your current career strategy gives one factor extra weight.
You should rerun the prompt when a callback, rate update, date change, or new contract detail changes the original tradeoff.
Use this when
Use this when you receive a casting notice, breakdown, agent suggestion, direct invitation, or last-minute audition and need a prompt answer about whether the opportunity deserves your time.
