# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I want to understand what my e-commerce business is worth and how to maximize its value before a potential sale. Current financials: {{annual_revenue_net_profit_growth_rate}}. Explain the valuation multiples buyers apply to e-commerce businesses and what factors affect them.
- Step 2: Audit my business against the top 10 factors buyers scrutinize: revenue concentration, platform dependence, review health, trademark status, supplier diversification, documented SOPs.
- Step 3: Identify my top 3 value gaps and the actions to close them in 12 months.
- Step 4: Create a pre-sale readiness checklist. 📌

# Goal

# 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
