Claude: drafts the first-call brief

You check sources, rules and decisions. Claude drafts only from the checked material.

  1. You

    Prepare the checked inputs

  2. Claude

    Draft facts, guesses, call flow

  3. You

    Approve or hold

  1. Prepare the checked inputs

    Use: You

    Have ready: the account research and the meeting invite.

  2. Draft the facts, guesses and call flow

    Use: Claude

    Ask Claude for facts first; check them, then ask for attendee guesses, three things to learn and a one-page brief in the same chat.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Trimmed fact sections. From this research and invite, write a facts-only section: who is attending, why now, what is known about the account. Use nothing that is not in the research. Task: One-page draft with facts and hypotheses separated. Add a separate Hypotheses section with attendee guesses and exactly three things to learn, each labelled hypothesis, then a suggested flow. Keep it to one page.

  3. Approve or hold

    Use: You

    Check facts and guesses against research, remove material not useful in the meeting and commit to the three things to learn.

    Check

    One page maximum; facts and guesses visually separated; each guess checked against the research text. The brief stays internal and is not shared with the prospect. Approve only a brief whose facts you have checked against the research.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

Every option keeps one page maximum, separates facts from hypotheses and ends with the seller committing to the three things to learn.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.
