AI Prompt Kit - EMEA

 

For Sales, Traders & Structurers in Structured Products — Nomura EMEA

 

Objective:

Pitch a credible business case for an AI-powered solution that could unlock $100K+ in new revenue or cost savings within 10 months.

 

📌 This is not a hackathon. We’re building the business case — not the tool itself.

 

Use AI as an associate to:

  1. Sharpen your use case

  2. Stress-test feasibility

  3. Improve the business case narrative

  4. Draft the pitch deck

🔍 Prompt 1: Opportunity Scan — Start with the Real Pain

As a [sales / trader / structurer] in Structured Products business at a global securities firm operating in EMEA, identify 5 real, high-leverage painpoints where AI could generate $100K+ in revenue or savings in 10 months.

 

Consider:

  • Where do we lose money, deals or trust today?

  • Where is client demand rising but hard to service?

 

Layer the solutions: Predictive mathematical models + Generative tools + human in the loop

For each painpoint, describe:

  • The business use case — real-world scenario with context

  • The pain it solves — make it real and tangible

  • A realistic AI-powered solution (tool type + data source)

  • Why it matters now (urgency, value at stake)

 

🎯 Shortlist ONE high-potential use case that feels real, urgent, and valuable.

🧪  Prompt 2: Is It Really AI?

Stress-test [insert solution] to make sure it's a truly AI solution, not just automation:

  • Is this solution non-deterministic?

  • Could it be solved with rules and automation? (If yes, it's not AI.)

  • Where does the model learn, infer, or personalise over time?

  • Where would it fail without data?

📊 Prompt 3: Market & Feasibility Check

  • What are existing AI solutions or case studies that address this painpoint?

  • Are any leading securities firms, fintechs, or vendors using AI this way?

  • What regulatory trends or constraints apply for structured products in the EMEA region?

  • Is this solution technically feasible in a typical securities firm’s infrastructure?

  • What datasets are required? Proprietary and/or public?

  • What blockers or risks exist?

 

Option:

Use the Deep Research feature.

💼 Prompt 4: Commercial Framing — Is It Worth It?

Evaluate the commercial strength of this AI solution.

  • What KPIs would prove it’s working?

  • What is the estimated revenue upside or cost reduction in $?

  • Where does it align with firm-level strategic goals in EMEA?

  • Could this solution realistically generate at least $100,000 in new revenue or savings within 10 months?

📣 Prompt 5: The Big Ask — Scope the MVP, Don't Build It

Define the MVP scope, but don’t design it — this is a pitch, not a build.

  • What’s the first client use case or product segment to pilot?

  • What internal support (Business, Tech, Risk, Compliance, senior stakeholder support) do we need - and how do we build it right from the start?

  • Outline the budget, people, tech and compliance resources required.

  • How can we establish compliance by design, not as an afterthought?

  • Which vendors might we partner with?

  • What could block this — and how do we de-risk early?

🧑‍💼 Prompt 6: Pitch Deck — Pitch the Business Case

Build a 5-slide internal pitch deck designed to win support from a panel of C-suites at a global securities firm. Each slide must speak the language of commercial value, competitive risk and strategic urgency — not just operations or technology. Avoid buzzwords. Be blunt, specific, and outcome-focused.

 

Structure as follows:

Slide 1: The Strategic Painpoint

 

Highlight the real, high-leverage paintpoint. Show the real-world business impact. Use language that would make a COO say, “This is unacceptable.”

 

Slide 2: The AI-Powered Solution — and Why Now

 

Describe the AI solution in commercial terms, not technical jargon. Answer: Why now?

 

Slide 3: Feasibility & Risk

 

Demonstrate that the solution is safe, achievable and low-friction to pilot. Highlight how risks are being actively de-risked by design.

 

Slide 4: Commercial Impact

 

Quantify the upside. Show a credible path to $100K+ in 10 months. Include KPI examples and business levers. Position this as a low-cost, high-return bet that aligns with strategic priorities in EMEA.

 

Slide 5: MVP Scope & The Big Ask

 

Define a tight, high-leverage MVP with a clear use case, timeline, and success criteria. Then state clearly: What are we asking for — budget, data access, cross-functional support — and why we need it now.

 

Optional:

Use Gamma.app to create the presentation slides.

Prompt 7:  Pitch

Build the pitch deck.
