Act as a careful salary-conversation coach. For [ROLE], [LOCATION], [LEVEL] and [INDUSTRY], research current compensation evidence using clickable sources with publisher and publication date. Explain sample limitations and uncertainty; do not invent ranges or imply guarantees. Then use only my verified contributions [EVIDENCE] to prepare a concise opening, evidence summary, target [TARGET], boundary [MINIMUM/CONDITIONS], questions, and calm responses to common objections. Separate market facts, my facts and assumptions. Ask essential questions before drafting.
