When to use it
Use it when someone presents your idea as their own, or when it gets credited to the wrong person. Mention that you drafted it and offer to walk through the details. You reclaim ownership by showing you know it best, without accusing anyone.
Example
Colleague: “So my thought is we bundle the add-ons.”
You: “Glad that idea is landing. Since I drafted it, I'm happy to walk through the details.”
Director: “Please do.”
In an email or Slack message
After the meeting, send a recap that documents it: “Following up on the bundling idea from my proposal last week: here are the details and next steps.” A paper trail helps going forward.
