Know your number. Then find out theirs.

Where negotiations go wrong

• Anchoring too soon

  Naming a number before you understand their constraints often leaves value on the table.

• Conceding without trading

  Giving something up to be liked, and getting nothing in return.

• Arguing positions

  Repeating "I need more" instead of asking what would make more possible for them.

Counterparts with something to protect

The counterpart has a walk-away point, priorities that are not the same as yours and information they will only trade. They react to pressure, silence and credible alternatives the way a real person would. Asking nicely does not unlock the answer.

• Salary and promotion

  A manager with a fixed budget and room for flexibility you do not see at first.

• Supplier and contract

  A vendor who can move on terms, delivery or scope more easily than on price.

• Internal resources

  A peer or director who controls headcount, time or budget you need.

What the feedback covers

The report walks through the negotiation move by move: when you anchored, what you conceded and what you got for it, which questions revealed their interests and where you accepted the first answer. You see the quotes and what the counterpart knew from the start.

How it works in the product

• AI roleplaysMost practice bots agree with you after two messages. Here the other side has a role, a goal, a mood and things it will not say until you earn them. You speak or type, it answers like a person with its own agenda.
• FeedbackGeneric AI feedback sounds helpful and changes nothing. This report is built from your transcript. Each criterion is tied to a quote and a moment, or it says clearly that there was no evidence.
