The prompt · ChatGPT
Check my plan for hidden risks. My plan: [paste it: a trip, a party, a move, a project, a launch] Date it happens: [date] What matters most: [e.g. staying on budget, everyone safe, on time] Imagine it's the day after and the plan went badly wrong. Work backwards: Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. 1. List the 5 most likely things that went wrong. 2. Rate each one: how likely (low/medium/high) and how bad (low/medium/high). 3. For each, give one step I can take now to prevent it. 4. For the top 2, give a plan B. 5. Tell me anything my plan doesn't mention that it should. Be practical and specific. Don't invent facts about my plan; ask if unsure. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
