Review your pipeline without inventing numbers
Lesson 4 of 6 · Business planning & operations
1 · Learn the move · Cognitive verifier
A cognitive verifier forces the AI to state the assumptions its answer depends on, then check them, instead of hiding them inside a confident number. For a pipeline review that means naming every place the math leans on a conversion rate or an average commission, and marking anything you didn't give it as UNKNOWN. The output is directional. You verify it against your own numbers.
Review my pipeline, but state every assumption the math depends on and mark anything I didn't give you UNKNOWN.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You have 22 active leads and a rough sense of your calendar, but you want a realistic read on what's likely to close. Without the AI inventing a conversion rate it can't know. Write a prompt that reviews your pipeline, states the assumptions the math depends on, and marks missing inputs UNKNOWN.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
