You have been given ₹5 crore under the Ministry of Home Affairs' Modernisation of Police Forces (MoPF) scheme. You have been asked to propose one project that would meaningfully improve policing.
What would you propose?
Alternatively, if your facilitator has agreed, you may work on a different professional problem or proposal you genuinely care about. Begin by recording your thinking in Section 1 — without using AI. The prompts will be revealed one stage at a time. Your responses are saved in this browser only.
Record your thinking before using AI. A brief, considered response is enough at this stage — you will develop it further through the stages below.
This also downloads a Word-compatible document of your proposal — keep it in case this browser is cleared.
Five stages, conducted as one continuing conversation. Open your AI tool in a separate tab and keep the same conversation running throughout. Your facilitator will give you the passcode when it is time for the next stage.
Before evaluating the project, the problem must be established correctly. A project built on a misunderstood problem will not deliver the intended outcome, however well it is designed.
What happened to your understanding of the problem?
Settling on the first solution without comparison risks overlooking a more effective one. Before proceeding, examine the range of alternatives.
How did AI's alternatives compare with your original proposal?
This step reverses the usual use of AI: instead of confirming you are right, ask it to argue you are wrong, surface the assumptions your proposal depends upon, and identify the evidence that would justify abandoning or redesigning it.
How did you respond to AI's strongest criticism?
Let AI question you one step at a time. Use your experience to work through how the proposal would operate, what it depends on, and where it might fail. Reach your own conclusions about what to retain, change or investigate.
To close the interview: use this prompt when your facilitator signals time is up.
What did AI's questions make you examine most closely? Select all that apply.
This step works backward from failure: assume the project was funded and did not succeed, then ask AI what the most plausible reasons would be.
Stop using AI now. Read your original proposal below, then respond to the questions that follow.
This document records your original proposal, your final position, all poll responses, and the prompts used at each stage.
