Frame a graceful response to a last-minute scope change

Drafts a calm, relationship-preserving response to a last-minute scope change on the day — accommodating what is reasonable, flagging what falls outside the brief, and protecting the engagement.

In / outOriginal scope + last-minute change request → drafted response that accepts in-scope items and flags out-of-scope ones gracefully

You might say…

The organiser just pulled me aside ten minutes before I go on and asked me to drop the section they hired me for.

What it does

Given a last-minute client request on the day (shortened slot, panel swap, changed audience), drafts a calm, relationship-preserving response that accommodates what's reasonable, flags what isn't, and protects the engagement. Used in the moment when the client organiser changes the brief at the venue.

Trigger: Use on the day when the client organiser requests a change to the format, slot length, audience, or content at the venue.
