Prompt · 11 lines
Here is a pitch for an AI tool. Pressure-test it for a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] with [NUMBER] people.

[PASTE THE PITCH OR DECK TEXT]

Tell me:
1. What it would actually cost in year one if [NUMBER] people used it: list price, seats, implementation, and anything marked "contact us"
2. The lock-in: contract length, data export, and what breaks if we leave
3. What the pitch does not say
4. Five questions I should ask before a demo
5. Whether this is a "try with 3–5 people" tool or a "buy for everyone" tool, based only on the pitch
Mark any price you cannot find as "check the vendor page." Don't invent a discount. Link to the vendor's own pricing page if you can.
How to adapt it
  • If you only have a landing page, paste that. A deck is better.
  • Add the tool you already pay for that does a similar job, and ask what would overlap.
Don't paste this in
  • Client or customer names
  • Account, card, SSN or tax ID numbers
  • Passwords
  • Health information
  • Use a business AI account, not a personal one, for company data.
