You present the idea you love. One question you never considered from your professor, and the entire concept collapses.
A director stress-tests their work first. We will build an "AI Red Team"—a team of expert critics programmed to find every flaw before anyone else does.
This isn't a suggestion. This is the play.
The AI Red Team Play
1. Brief Your Team Give your AI a clear, concise summary of your concept—the problem, the user, and the solution.
2. Command the Critics Use our prompt to command your AI to adopt a multi-persona team of specialists, each with a specific, critical lens.
3. Analyze the Intelligence Your job is not to defend your idea, but to use the critiques to rebuild it stronger.
The 'AI Red Team' Prompt
(Copy the text below, replace the parts in [brackets], and paste it into your AI tool of choice.)
Act as a "Red Team" of expert critics. Your sole mission is to stress-test the following design concept and identify every potential flaw, risk, and overlooked weakness. You must be ruthless but constructive.
The Concept Briefing: [Provide a clear, 1-2 paragraph summary of your idea here.]
Now, adopt the following three personas and provide a critique from each perspective:
1. The Cynical CFO: Analyze the business model. What makes this idea unprofitable?
2. The Skeptical Engineer:Analyze the technical execution. What makes this idea difficult or impossible to build?
3. The Frustrated User: Analyze the user experience. What makes this idea annoying or untrustworthy?
Director's Note
Ego is the enemy of great design. A flaw discovered by your AI Red Team is a victory. A flaw discovered by your professor is a failure. Embrace the critique.
Before & After
Let's use our fictional student e-bike service.
The 'Before' (The optimistic concept):
"Our subscription e-bike service for female students in Pune will provide safe, on-demand transport."
The 'After' (A flaw identified by the AI Red Team):
"Critique from the Cynical CFO: The business model completely overlooks the high cost of battery replacement and potential for vandalism. A single stolen battery could wipe out a month's profit from ten users."
P.S. Your concept is now bulletproof. But a great idea is useless if you can't sell it.
Next week, we run The Pitch Play: A framework for using AI to structure a persuasive, 5-minute presentation that gets you a 'yes'.
