[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 243402, member: 42112"] Hello! This is a great question - I would say yes, as long as you make sure it has a purpose in your answer. You should still show that you have considered possible ways to make the deal work, because that demonstrates commercial judgement and makes it clear that you have analysed other options. However, you don't need to develop them in detail if your view is that the client shouldn't proceed. A good approach could be to briefly acknowledge the main mitigations or alternatives, explain why they don't sufficiently address the key risks, and then return to your recommendation not to proceed. It shows that you've taken a balanced and open-minded approach to making the decision, rather than saying "no" without much further analysis :) [/QUOTE]
