Prepare the negotiation brief

Prepares a structured brief for the change order negotiation — anticipating client objections, establishing the walk-away position, and identifying trade-able variables.

In / outChange request + client context + commercial constraints → negotiation brief (opening position, objection responses, trade variables, walk-away point)

You might say…

Walking into a change order conversation without a brief means I give ground I didn't intend to — the negotiation brief keeps me anchored to what matters.

What it does

Generates talking points and concession/anchor positions for walking the client through the change order — likely objections, fallback options, and the value framing. Used to prepare for the change-order conversation.

Trigger: Use after drafting the change request and before the client conversation; provide the change request, client relationship context, and commercial constraints.

Recognise the problem?

The primitives are the commodity part. The fastest next step is a conversation about composing them into something that works for you.
