Before and after

A small business owner was about to decide this:

Hire a part-time assistant at 15 hours a week instead of buying a scheduling tool. ... Leaning: assistant. I lose about 6 hours a week to booking and email.

The second opinion found what they missed:

You compared a 900 cost to a 25 cost. The gap is 36 times, and your reason does not explain it.

Verdict: Go, but fix these first. Track your 6 hours for one week, and try a tool for 30 days. Confidence: medium.

Most chats agree with you. This prompt tells Claude not to. Pair it with Claude Memory, so it judges you as someone who knows your field.
