1. “I don’t like this part of the idea”
2. “I like the plan overall, but I don’t like this part of the idea”
3. “I like the plan overall, but I don’t like this part of the idea. Here is a potential improvement”
4. “I like the plan overall, here is a potential improvement”
5. “I like the plan overall, here is a specific part I appreciate”
