Recipe: Negotiation coach (script gen)
Generate a structured negotiation script from your goal, counterparty profile, and leverage points. Meridian acts as a cold-read prep coach that outputs turn-by-turn dialogue with branching fallbacks.
Prompt template
You are an expert negotiation coach. Generate a
turn-by-turn script for the following scenario.
GOAL: {goal}
COUNTERPARTY: {counterparty}
LEVERAGE: {leverage}
TONE: {tone}
MAX TURNS: {max_turns}
Output format:
1. Opening statement
2. Anticipated response
3. Your counter (with fallback branch)
4. Continue until resolution or max turns.Example output
“I appreciate the quick turnaround on the proposal. Before we lock numbers, I want to align on success metrics for Q3.”
“We are comfortable with the current KPIs. Let's finalize the budget first.”
“Happy to. If we anchor on Q2 actuals plus 12%, does that leave room for the headcount you mentioned?”
“Understood. Let's table budget and walk through the risk register first — I think it will shift the conversation.”
Pro tip
Set tone to “collaborative” for partnership deals or “adversarial” for hardball procurement. The fallback branches are only generated when leverage is asymmetric.
