Use the Ikigai to tap into a deeper knowing about the potential partnership.
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that maps the center of meaningful work — where what you love doing meets what the world will pay for. When a client lands at that center, the engagement has a shot at being some of your best work. Score the four quadrants below and the tool gives you a clear read.
Adjust the sliders, get your report, then take it over to AI for further discussion.
Enter the client's name or a brief description of the engagement.
The Four Ikigai Questions
How energizing does this work feel?
How well does this work match your strengths and expertise?
How closely does this client align with the impact you want your work to create?
How likely is this work to be valued and properly compensated?
Reality Checks
Do you have the time and energy to do this work well?
How prepared are they to begin?
How clear and committed is the budget?
Is the person involved able to approve the engagement?
How clear and realistic is the timeline?
How strongly do you want this work?
Do you see any concerns that should stop the engagement?

Take this to AI in two steps. First press Copy the Report + Devil's Advocate Prompt — it copies your full briefing together with a Devil's Advocate prompt. Then paste into Claude or ChatGPT, and it stress-tests the engagement — the hidden assumptions, the biggest blind spot, a bias check on you, and a clear verdict before you commit. Strip out the client's name, real names, and any dollar figures first. Public AI tools may store what you enter, so keep it general — the read works just as well without the names.
