7 negotiation scenarios

Salary increase, business deal, real estate, freelancer rate, vendor contract, car purchase, general contract. Each calibrated with realistic anchors and authentic counter-pressure.

Tactics labeled live

Every move the AI makes is labeled in real time — anchoring, good cop/bad cop, BATNA pressure, scarcity, deadline. Learn to spot the patterns by name, not by intuition.

BATNA-aware debrief

End-of-session report scoring your performance against your own BATNA. Specific feedback on missed opportunities, premature concessions, and the moves that worked.

How it works

Three steps.

1

Pick a scenario and your role

Salary negotiation as the candidate. Vendor contract as the buyer. Each scenario sets realistic constraints — what they want, what they can give up, where their walls are.

2

Set difficulty + your BATNA

Cooperative (early practice), Assertive (real-world default), Hardball (worst-case prep). Tell the AI your walk-away number so the debrief can score against it.

3

Negotiate live, debrief honest

Live back-and-forth. Tactics labeled as they happen so you build pattern recognition. Score out of 100 + concession analysis + specific lessons for next time.

You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.

FAQ

Does this actually replicate a real negotiation?+

It replicates the rhetorical pressure — anchoring, concession patterns, BATNA-testing, deadline manipulation — better than role-playing with a friend who can't keep a straight face. It doesn't replicate the body language, the room dynamics, or the specific person you're negotiating with. Use it as practice, not as a model of the actual conversation.

How is this different from reading 'Never Split the Difference'?+

Books teach you the tactics. This makes you use them under pressure. Most people read a negotiation book, feel sharper for a week, and revert when an anchored number lands in real life. Drilling against an AI counterparty bridges the knowing/doing gap.

Can I practice negotiating with a specific real company or person?+

You can describe the counterparty (e.g. 'a Series B SaaS company,' 'a freelance designer in NYC market'), but the AI does not impersonate named individuals. Adversarial practice, not impersonation.
