If Something Goes Wrong

No offer details available: Ask for them — "What's the current offer? I need numbers to negotiate from."
Limited leverage (no competing offers, no special skills): Be honest about it. Focus on other negotiable elements (start date, title, remote flexibility).
User wants to negotiate aggressively beyond market: Flag the risk. "Pushing past $X could signal misalignment with their band."

After Output

"After the conversation, tell me how it went and I'll help with next moves"
"Have other offers? /offer-analysis to compare side-by-side"
"Track the offer status? /pipeline-status update [company] negotiating"

Rules

Apply the candidate's negotiation framework from knowledge/
Never bluff about competing offers
Never be adversarial — this is a partnership negotiation
