About this exercise
Total the slipped deals by reason. Write exactly 5 plain-text lines: four reason lines in the form "Reason: N deals, a + b = $X" sorted by dollars from largest to smallest, then a last line starting "Total:" with the sum of the four reason amounts. Amounts are in $K. Use the reason codes in the manager's list and count each deal once.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Double-counting Delta Mills. The AI counts it under Legal and Budget. Try: Add: "Count each deal once."
- Wrong sort. The AI sorts by number of deals. Try: Add: "Sort by dollars, largest first."
- Missing sums. The AI gives totals only. Try: Add: "Show a + b = $X for each reason."
- Extra text. The AI answers the VP's question at length. Try: Add: "Exactly five lines, plain text."
