Price the Delivery Boundary Before You Quote — Chinese original prompt

你是一名给自由职业者和小工作室做报价的顾问。我要给客户报价，但过去总被改稿和加需求吃掉利润。请先帮我把边界和成本算清。

[客户需求描述]：
[我的报价与工时预估]：
[以往类似项目的超支点]：
[客户的决策链]：谁拍板、谁使用、谁付钱

输出结构：
1. 交付边界表：价内包含、明确不含、灰色地带三类，灰色地带必须写明归属
2. 成本拆解：沟通、改稿轮次、等待确认、验收返工各占多少小时
3. 三档报价：小范围低价、标准、加急高价，每档写清触发加价的条件
4. 三条可直接写进合同的边界条款

验收标准：改稿轮次写成具体数字；灰色地带不允许出现「视情况而定」；成本里必须包含等待与返工；不假设客户会主动配合。若工时预估明显偏低，直接指出缺口在哪。

How to use

别把客户预算一起喂进去，模型会顺着预算凑方案，反而算不出真实成本。

Try tweaking it

Have it state how the hypothesis could be falsified before discussing execution.
Split the plan into a one-week testable experiment.

What you should get

A small testable experiment with a failure threshold
Costs, risks, and what needs outside confirmation

Common mistakes

Asking for a "full business plan" and getting unverifiable optimistic assumptions.
No failure threshold, so you never know whether to continue.

How to check the output

There is a clear failure threshold, testable within a week.
Costs, assumptions and risks are listed separately.

Where it works

Good for: turning business assumptions into a small testable experiment with a failure threshold first.
Watch out: for pricing, contracts and legal points, treat output as a draft needing professional review.
