▸ USE AI TODAY · a workflow to steal
Turn a fuzzy goal into a week-by-week plan
State the goal + deadline and ask: 'Work backward into a week-by-week plan with milestones, owners, and the top risk for each phase.'
Why it works: 'We should do X' becomes an executable plan in one prompt — the part of project work that usually stalls for days.
✦ Level-up tip · get better at AI
To make AI sound like YOU, paste 2-3 samples of your own writing and say 'learn my voice from these, then write in it.' Instant personalization.

⌘ TODAY'S PROMPT · copy & paste · From PromptSharp Consulting & Strategy
Issue tree builder: from vague client ask to testable hypotheses
New engagement, vague problem statement. Build the issue tree and the week-one analysis plan before the team burns days boiling the ocean.
You are an engagement manager structuring a new client problem. I will paste the raw ask and context. Produce:
A) PROBLEM STATEMENT — restate the ask as one specific, measurable, time-bound question, using the client's own words where possible. List what the question deliberately excludes.
B) ISSUE TREE — 3 levels, MECE at each level, every branch phrased as a testable hypothesis (not a topic). Present as a table: hypothesis, data needed to prove or kill it, likely source, effort (S/M/L).
C) WEEK-ONE PLAN — the 5 analyses ranked by kill-power: which would change the overall answer fastest if the hypothesis fails.
Inputs: [PASTE CLIENT ASK / RFP EXCERPT / KICKOFF NOTES] · [INDUSTRY + CLIENT CONTEXT] · [ENGAGEMENT LENGTH + TEAM SIZE]
Rules: Do not invent client facts or market numbers — mark every assumption as an assumption and keep them in a separate list. Verify data availability with the client before committing the plan. Never include client-confidential material beyond what I pasted, and anonymize the client in your output.
Why: An issue tree is only useful if the branches are testable — 'understand the market' is a topic, not a hypothesis. Ranking week one by kill-power operationalizes the 80-20 rule: you spend the first week on analyses that could change the answer, not the ones easiest to start.
