# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Problem Definition: Write a one-paragraph description of the decision, including what specifically is at stake, by when you need to decide, and what makes this genuinely difficult.
- Step 2: Options Expansion: List all options — including the ones that feel too bold, too conservative, or that you have dismissed without analysis. Aim for at least 5 options.
- Step 3: Criteria Weighting: List the 5 most important criteria for this decision. Weight them by importance (total must equal 100%). Score each option against each criterion (1–5). Calculate a weighted score for each option.
- Step 4: Gut Check and Commitment: Review the highest-scoring option. Does your gut agree? If yes, commit and design your first 3 actions. If no, examine the gap — what does your gut know that the scoring missed? 📌

# 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.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you face a high-stakes decision and want to combine structured analysis with gut wisdom rather than letting either dominate. ✅

PRO TIP

When your gut and your analysis disagree in Step 4, do not dismiss either. Ask what information would need to be true for your gut to match the analysis — that question often reveals the missing variable.
