Tell the AI who to be when it reviews your work
Give it a role, like a skeptical finance lead or a first-time customer, and its feedback gets sharper and more specific.
Give me feedback on this proposal.
Act as a skeptical finance lead reviewing the proposal below. Your job is to protect the budget, and you've seen plenty of plans that overpromise. Read it and tell me: - the three questions you'd ask before approving it - any numbers that look weak or unsupported - what would make you say yes [paste the proposal for a new team training program]
Why it works
A role tells the AI whose point of view to take and what that person cares about. Without one, feedback tends to be polite and general. With one, it focuses on the things that reader would actually push back on, so you can fix them before the real meeting.
