**PRE-QUOTE CLARIFICATION NEEDED.** Known: French→English, PDF, museum visitors. Missing: word count/editable source, register, exact deadline and time zone, layout requirements. **Message:** Hello, thanks for your enquiry. To scope the French-to-English museum PDF, could you confirm the approximate word count or provide a secure way to inspect the file, whether you have an editable source, your preferred visitor-facing tone, the exact delivery date/time and time zone, and whether the PDF layout must be recreated? After reviewing the scope I can discuss a quote. — Sam No fee or availability promised.

How it works
- Buy and download the file from Payhip.
- Open it and copy the skill into your AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude or similar).
- Give it your facts — it asks for anything missing instead of inventing it.
Questions
Does it fill in missing details?
No — its instructions prohibit inventing details and require flags for uncertainty; AI output can still be wrong, so you must review it.
Do I need a paid add-on, API, or connected account?
No — you need access to a compatible AI chat; access limits and any chat-service charges depend on that provider.
Is the draft ready to send or publish without review?
No — the status and source checks are intended to support human verification first.
