What you need
Destination: customer, a proposal. I supplied: our pricing (₹1,40,000 setup, ₹96,000/year), the customer's stated problem, our timeline of 6 weeks.
The tool
A card on your desk, or a saved note
The prompt
Subscribers. The full prompt is part of the SMEMinds AI Playbook. See plans.
What comes back
1. ACCURACY — checkable claims: 72 person-days; 70–80% reduction; 8-month payback; 6 weeks; ISO 27001 certification; 40+ manufacturing clients.
Verify before you use it
Human review required. Check every line below before this leaves your screen.
- The ISO 27001 claim is the finding. The model invented a certification you never mentioned, and it would have gone to a customer.
- Note the copied-versus-produced split. Only two numbers needed recomputing; the rest were yours.
- The 'industry benchmarks suggest' phrasing is the classic unsourced claim wearing the costume of a sourced one.
- Log all four catches. This is the kind of pattern that repeats across proposals.
