The prompt
Explain how sponsorship would allow me to dedicate [X hours/days] per week/month to open source, comparing current volunteer time vs. potential sponsored time.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

Currently, you dedicate approximately 5 hours per week to your open source project during evenings and weekends. With sponsorship providing financial stability, you could commit 20-25 hours per week—essentially making it a part-time job. This 4-5x increase would allow you to address the backlog of 47 open issues, implement requested features more quickly, and provide timely support to your community of 3,000+ users.

✨ Claude

Right now, you're managing about 8 hours monthly squeezed between work obligations, which barely covers critical bugs and urgent PRs. Sponsorship would enable a shift to roughly 40 hours monthly—enough to actually plan features, write documentation, and engage meaningfully with contributors. The difference isn't just quantitative; consistent blocks of dedicated time would let you tackle complex architectural work that's currently impossible in fragmented evening sessions.

💎 Gemini

Your current volunteer commitment is approximately 6 hours per week, primarily on weekends. With sponsorship, you could increase this to 15-20 hours per week during dedicated weekday blocks. This represents a 150-250% increase in development time, enabling systematic feature development, comprehensive testing, and consistent maintenance cycles rather than reactive bug fixes.
