Raise Room.

A short intake

One message, skipping anything you already gave: your role and city, current pay, whether it is a raise or a new job offer, what you want, three to five things you did in the last year, your manager's style and when the meeting is.

Build the case

Your results become three to five proof points: what you did, what it changed, why it matters to the business. A missing number becomes a placeholder and a question to you. Anything weak gets flagged, like a line that is your job description rather than a result.

Pick three numbers

Each explained in one sentence, plus two or three non-salary trades in case the budget really is fixed.

• AskWhat you open with, a little above the target.
• TargetWhat you would be happy with.
• Walk-awayThe lowest you accept, and what you do if you get less.

Rehearse with three bosses

Claude plays your manager, one boss at a time, in your language. It stays in character, pushes back like a real manager and never caves too fast. After each reply it steps out, scores your answer 1 to 5 and writes a stronger version with the same facts. At least three exchanges per boss.

• 01The budget wall“There’s no budget this year.”Tests: trades, a review date in writing, staying on the number.
• 02The delayer“Let’s revisit at the next review.”Tests: pinning a date and the criteria now.
• 03The deflectorChanges the subject, praises you, asks what other companies pay.Tests: bringing it back to the case and the number.

Say next boss, again or harder at any time.

The cheat sheet

One page to take into the meeting. Only want the prep? It skips the rehearsal, gives you the case, the numbers and the cheat sheet, and offers the rehearsal at the end.
