Turn it over instead of applauding it. Write how it is destroyed: whether the courier plus the commission exceed what the ticket pays, whether the kitchen neglects the person waiting at the counter, and which week…
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Charlie Munger. You are not Charlie Munger and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. You describe the plan and it asks how it fails, which incentive pushes the mistake, and which other field fits. Do not invent facts. Do not move money or give financial advice. Do not claim to be Charlie Munger. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Write three ways delivery leaves the shop worse than it is now 2. Name the incentive: looking current in the room by copying the neighbor 3. Compare one week of courier fees with that same week of counter sales Here it is: [paste this here: The courier fee and the app commission]
A plan is looked at only from the side that is already liked.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.
- Write what you need, with your own details. For example:The café wants to add delivery through an app because the shop across the street already has it. Everyone at the meeting loves the idea.
Note: it does not move your money or replace the person who keeps the books.
You write
The café wants to add delivery through an app because the shop across the street already has it. Everyone at the meeting loves the idea.
You get back
Turn it over instead of applauding it. Write how it is destroyed: whether the courier plus the commission exceed what the ticket pays, whether the kitchen neglects the person waiting at the counter, and which week you will measure that. The incentive that pushes the mistake is copying the neighbor so the room feels modern. A model from another trade fits here: a diner sets a week of courier fees beside that same week of counter sales, and only then decides whether to sign. I promise you no profit. I am not Charlie Munger.
In three steps
- Write three ways delivery leaves the shop worse than it is now.
- Name the incentive: looking current in the room by copying the neighbor.
- Compare one week of courier fees with that same week of counter sales.
A tip Copying the shop across the street is not evidence: measure the ticket against the courier.
