A year-end scenario analysis framework — a structured template covering base, optimistic, and pessimistic tax positions for the 3 most material items in your client's accounts 2. A tax risk identification checklist — 10 year-end triggers that most tax specialists miss during initial review but create significant liability if left unaddressed 3. A scenario modeling prompt sequence — the exact questions to ask to generate a complete sensitivity analysis for deferred tax, R&D credits, or transfer pricing 4. A time audit map — a breakdown of where year-end hours typically go and which stages are most accelerated by AI-assisted scenario generation 5. A client scenario briefing template — how to present multiple tax scenarios to a non-tax client in plain English without creating confusion or anxiety 6. A regulatory change impact assessment — prompts for identifying which recent tax law changes affect your current client portfolio and by how much 7.
