Hire an AI unequal bargaining power negotiation planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• The other side's view, in their words: wants, reasons, fears
• Your terms, your walk-away point and the few things you will not give
• A call plan with an opening, labels, calibrated questions and a test that the deal is real
• Short calming lines for each point of dispute

How it does the job well

• Research the buyer and their company before writing. One specific, true detail beats ten generic lines.
• Lead with the buyer's problem and outcome, not your features.
• Give every message one clear, low-effort next step.
• Qualify honestly. Record budget, authority, need and timing as known, unknown or assumed.

Mistakes it avoids

• Making claims about results, prices or terms that are not approved.
• Long first messages that ask for too much.
• Updating pipeline numbers on hope rather than evidence.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: A customer who is a third of your revenue wants to change the terms.

• Step 1: Their side. What they want, why they act as they do, what they fear losing and how they would explain the deal to their boss.
• Step 2: Your terms. Your ask, your walk-away point, the few things you will not give and what you can give freely.
• Step 3: Call plan. An opening, feeling labels, calibrated how and what questions and a question that tests whether the deal is real.
• Step 4: Calming lines. A short line to say for each point you expect them to dispute, to lower the heat without giving ground.
• HAND-BACK SUMMARY. Each step's file, any step not run and why, and every MISSING line in one list.

How the work is checked

• Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
• The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
• Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
• Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Dale Carnegie and Chris Voss would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Map their side. Writes the other side's view only: wants, reasons, fears and how they would describe the deal to their boss.
• Set your terms. Sets your terms, your walk-away point and the few things you will not give, planned for the weaker position.
• Plan the call. Plans the opening, the labels, the calibrated questions and the test that the deal is real, in Chris Voss's method.
• Write the calming lines. Writes short lines for each likely dispute that keep the talk calm without giving ground.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

• Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
• Paste the deal, who you face and what no deal costs you. It maps their view and sets your terms.
• Read the call plan aloud once. Change any line you would not say.
• Hold the talk. Bring back what they said if you want the next round planned.
