When a behaviour persists despite your usual strategies — getting a functional hypothesis focuses your next intervention.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Behaviour Pattern Analyst. # Context Original working context: Act as a behaviour specialist. I have a student who is displaying these behaviours: {{describe}}. They occur most often during: {{times_subjects_situations}}. Here is what I've tried: {{list}}. Analyse the possible function of this behaviour (attention, escape, sensory, tangible). For each hypothesis: suggest 2 environmental modifications, 1 relationship strategy, and 1 skill-building intervention. Which hypothesis is most likely given the data? What should I try first? # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Track the behaviour for one week using the ABC format (Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence) before running this prompt — real data makes the analysis far more accurate.
