Planning
Explore how AI models perform in Planning. Compare rankings, scoring criteria, and recent benchmark examples.
Genre overview
Compare feasibility, prioritization, and structure in AI-generated plans.
In this genre, the main abilities being tested are Feasibility, Completeness, Prioritization.
Unlike system design or analysis, this genre focuses more on sequencing actions and priorities than on architecture depth or long reasoning chains.
A high score here does not guarantee strong code output, persuasive writing, or broad creative range.
Strong models here are useful for
project plans, roadmaps, trip plans, checklists, and next-step sequencing.
This genre alone cannot tell you
whether the model is strongest at implementation, deep architecture review, or original ideation.

30.0%
This criterion is included to check Feasibility in the answer. It carries heavier weight because this part strongly shapes the overall result in this genre.
Completeness
20.0%
This criterion is included to check Completeness in the answer. It has meaningful weight because it affects quality in a visible way, even if it is not the only thing that matters.
Prioritization
20.0%
This criterion is included to check Prioritization in the answer. It has meaningful weight because it affects quality in a visible way, even if it is not the only thing that matters.
Specificity
20.0%
This criterion is included to check Specificity in the answer. It has meaningful weight because it affects quality in a visible way, even if it is not the only thing that matters.
Clarity

72-Hour Product Launch Recovery Plan
You are the interim project lead for a mid-sized SaaS company. Your team was scheduled to launch a major new feature ("Smart Reports") to all paying customers in 72 hours (Friday 5:00 PM, in your timezone). It is now Tuesday 5:00 PM. This morning, the following problems surfaced simultaneously: 1. QA discovered a critical bug: under specific timezone settings, exported PDF reports show incorrect totals (off by up to 8%). Reproduction is reliable; root cause is suspected but not confirmed. 2. The lead backend engineer (the only person who knows the reporting service deeply) is out sick and unreachable until Thursday morning at the earliest. 3. Marketing has already sent a teaser email to 40,000 customers promising Friday availability, and a press embargo lifts Friday at 9:00 AM. 4. Customer Support has flagged that 3 enterprise customers (combined ARR ~$600k) explicitly requested this feature in their renewal conversations and expect it on Friday. 5. Your CEO wants the launch to proceed but says "do not ship something embarrassing." Available resources: 2 backend engineers (mid-level, unfamiliar with reporting service), 1 senior frontend engineer, 1 QA engineer, 1 technical writer, 1 product manager (you), access to a feature-flag system, a staging environment, and Customer Support staff. Produce a concrete, sequenced 72-hour action plan that gets to the best feasible outcome by Friday 5:00 PM. Your plan must include: - A timeline broken into clear time blocks (with approximate clock times across Tue evening, Wed, Thu, Fri). - Specific owners for each action (by role). - Decision points / go-no-go gates with explicit criteria. - A prioritized risk register (top 4–6 risks) with mitigations and contingencies. - A communication plan covering the CEO, the 3 enterprise customers, the broader 40k email list, and internal staff — including what to say if you must delay or do a partial launch. - A clearly stated recommendation: full launch, partial/gated launch, or delayed launch, with justification tied to your constraints. Keep the plan realistic and actionable. Avoid generic advice; tie every action to the constraints above.

Neighborhood Cleanup Day Action Plan
Create a comprehensive action plan to organize a neighborhood cleanup day. The plan should be a step-by-step guide for your small team of organizers, covering the four weeks leading up to the event. Your plan must include a detailed timeline of tasks, a budget breakdown, a strategy for recruiting at least 20 day-of volunteers, and a section on potential risks and their mitigation strategies.

Power Outage Recovery Plan for a Small Clinic
You are advising a small outpatient clinic after an overnight storm caused a full power outage. The clinic opens to patients at 8:00 AM, and it is now 6:00 AM. Create a practical action plan for the next 6 hours that sequences the clinic's decisions and tasks. Clinic facts: - The clinic has 1 doctor, 2 nurses, 1 receptionist, and 1 facilities staff member on site by 6:30 AM. - A backup generator can power only essential loads for up to 4 hours total before refueling. It can support either: Option A: vaccine refrigerator + emergency lighting + internet router, or Option B: 2 exam rooms + emergency lighting + basic check-in computer. It cannot support both options at once. - The vaccine refrigerator must stay powered enough to avoid spoilage; once it goes above its safe temperature limit for 30 cumulative minutes, all vaccines must be discarded. - Internet service works only if the router has power. - Water is available, but the phone system is down; staff can use personal mobile phones. - There are 18 patients scheduled between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM: - 5 routine follow-ups - 4 vaccination appointments - 3 urgent but non-life-threatening visits - 2 lab sample pickups that must happen before 11:00 AM - 4 telehealth consultations that require internet - A nearby pharmacy is open at 9:00 AM. - The fuel supplier estimates refueling no earlier than 10:30 AM, but this is not guaranteed. - One nurse is trained to monitor vaccine temperature and perform vaccinations; the other is not. - The doctor can do in-person visits or telehealth, but not both at the same time. Your plan must: - Cover the time from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM - Prioritize patient safety, legal/clinical feasibility, and minimizing service disruption - Decide when to use the generator and which option to power at different times, if any - Reprioritize or reschedule patient appointments as needed - Assign responsibilities to available staff roles - Include at least 3 major risks or failure points and how to handle them - Be realistic about uncertainty and avoid assuming extra staff or equipment Write the answer as a step-by-step operational plan.

Food Truck Launch Plan
You are an aspiring entrepreneur with a great idea for a gourmet grilled cheese food truck. You have culinary experience but limited business knowledge. Your total starting capital is $25,000, and you want to be operational within 3 months in the fictional mid-sized city of Maple Creek. Create a detailed, 3-month action plan that covers the period from today until your first day of sales. The plan should be broken down by month and cover these key areas: 1. Legal & Permitting: Business registration, licenses, health permits. 2. Vehicle & Equipment: Sourcing and purchasing a used food truck, outfitting it with necessary kitchen equipment. 3. Menu & Sourcing: Finalizing the menu, identifying and establishing relationships with local suppliers. 4. Marketing & Branding: Creating a brand name and logo, setting up social media, planning a launch event. 5. Financials: Budget allocation for all major expense categories. Finally, identify the top three potential risks to your launch plan and propose a specific, practical mitigation strategy for each.

Emergency Office Relocation Plan Under Budget and Time Constraints
You are the operations manager of a 45-person software company. Due to a sudden building safety violation, your landlord has given you exactly 10 business days to vacate your current office. You must relocate the entire company while keeping business disruption to a minimum. Here are your constraints: - Budget: $18,000 total for the move (moving company, temporary solutions, setup costs) - 10 business days to fully vacate (non-negotiable; penalties of $2,000/day after deadline) - You have already signed a lease on a new office space, but it needs 3 days of IT infrastructure setup (network cabling, server rack installation) before anyone can work there - Your company has 3 critical client deadlines falling within the 10-day window: Day 3, Day 6, and Day 9 - You have 12 developers who need dual-monitor setups and VPN access to work remotely, but only 8 company laptops available for remote work - The moving company you prefer is available only on Days 5-6 or Days 8-9 (two-day job either way) - Your server room contains 4 physical servers that require professional handling and 6 hours of downtime for migration - One team member (your IT lead) is on vacation Days 1-3 and cannot be recalled Create a detailed day-by-day relocation plan (Days 1 through 10) that addresses all of the above constraints. For each day, specify the key actions, who is responsible, and any risks. Also include a contingency plan for the most likely failure point you identify. Explain your reasoning for the sequencing choices you make.

Weekend Move Plan Under Tight Constraints
You are helping a person plan a one-day apartment move on Saturday. They are moving from a studio apartment on the 3rd floor (no elevator) to a new apartment 25 minutes away by car. Build a practical step-by-step moving plan for the day that is feasible, prioritized, and includes risk handling. Facts and constraints: - The person has two friends helping from 9:00 to 13:00 only. - A rental van is available from 10:00 to 16:00 and must be returned with a full tank. - Building A (old apartment) allows move-out only between 8:00 and 14:00. - Building B (new apartment) allows move-in only between 12:00 and 18:00. - The person must hand over the old apartment keys by 15:00. - There are 35 boxes total, plus: a bed frame and mattress, a desk, a chair, a bookshelf, and a mini-fridge. - The mini-fridge must remain upright during transport and should be plugged in no sooner than 4 hours after arrival. - The bookshelf is not disassembled yet, but disassembling it takes 30 minutes and requires a screwdriver. - The bed frame is already disassembled. - The desk can fit in the van only if its legs are removed first; that takes 20 minutes. - Packing is mostly done, but the bathroom items, bedding, and kitchen cleaning supplies are still unpacked. - The person has only one dolly/hand truck and six moving blankets. - Weather forecast: possible rain from 11:30 onward. - The person wants to minimize costs, avoid damage, and reduce the chance of missing any building or rental deadlines. Your task: - Provide a time-based plan for the day from 8:00 until the key handover is complete. - Sequence tasks logically, including prep, loading, travel, unloading, and final checks. - Assign who should do what when helpful (the person vs. the two friends). - Identify the highest-priority items to load first or last and explain why. - Include at least three concrete risk mitigations or contingency actions. - Keep the plan realistic; do not assume extra helpers or equipment beyond what is listed.
