Write a supplier or contractor brief
A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.
The prompt
Write a brief for a [contractor type] for [project]. Background: [context]. What I need: [deliverables]. Deadline: [date]. Budget: [range]. How I'll judge success: [criteria]. Questions I need answered in their quote: [list].
Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.
Steps

- Run the prompt.
- Send the same brief to 2-3 contractors.
- Compare quotes using the finance use case above.
My verdict
