Examples
Example 1: Input:
Email thread: Client asking for project delay, citing budget concerns
Current context: Already pushed deadline twice, team resources committed
Output:
VERSION A (Collaborative): "I understand budget constraints are challenging. Let's explore options to adjust scope while meeting your core needs..."
VERSION B (Firm): "Given our previous accommodations and current resource commitments, we need to finalize the current timeline..."
VERSION C (Problem-solving): "I'd like to propose a phased approach that addresses your budget concerns while maintaining project momentum..."

Provide clearer guidance on when to use each strategic approach (Version A vs B vs C) with specific trigger conditions
Best Practices
