Supplier missed the deadline — what now
Your supplier is 2 weeks late on a delivery that was promised firm. You need leverage but also need them long-term. Brief an AI to draft the message.
Difficulty: Advanced · Genre: Negotiate
The scenario
Supplier: 4-year relationship, generally reliable, this is the second slip in 6 months. Your cost from the delay: ~$8k in deferred revenue. You want: faster shipment + a real conversation about what's changed on their end.
The goal
An AI should draft a firm-but-relationship-aware message: name the slip, name the cost, ask for a specific action this week, and propose a 30-min call to understand what's changing.
What a strong brief covers
Should specify: relationship history, the second-slip context, the dollar impact, the immediate ask, and the longer conversation ask, plus the tone (serious, not blowing it up).
