The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan this event step by step.

Event: [details]
Date target: [details]
Venue status: [none / options / booked]
Rough guests: [n]
Budget feel: [rough]
Team: [who's helping]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A critical-path timeline.
2. Roles.
3. Budget headings (not invented figures).
4. Permissions/licences to check (marked check).
5. A week-of run sheet.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. details: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
