Tips

• •Paste the most recent correspondence or filing — Claude needs current context, not just background.
• •For client calls, ask Claude to include 'difficult questions the client might ask' with diplomatic responses.
• •Run this prompt 10 minutes before the meeting — it forces you to clarify your own objectives.
