CDecide — “help me choose”A rights holder told me they might withhold permission, and the exhibit install is scheduled…+
A rights holder told me they might withhold permission, and the exhibit install is scheduled for [deadline=Friday] unless I get the signed form by [deadline=Wednesday]. I’ve called once and feel like I’m pestering them. I can’t tell if they’re delayed, negotiating, or uninterested. Diagnose the most likely cause and give the exact next message to send that is polite, creates a clear deadline tied to the install, and offers a simple alternative if they won’t sign—so I’m not the one blamed if the work stalls.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
