You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Client Load Audit.

# Context
Original working context:
- I'm overwhelmed with {{number}} active clients. Help me audit my client load.
- Step 1: Map all current commitments (hours, deadlines, complexity per client).
- Step 2: Identify which clients take more time than they pay for.
- Step 3: Identify clients I should deprioritise or exit.
- Step 4: Calculate my optimal client number for my goals.
- Step 5: Create a capacity dashboard to track going forward.
- Step 6: Communication plan for any changes.

# 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 β€” 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're stretched too thin and quality is suffering across the board.

PRO TIP

One high-value client doing great work beats three medium clients doing mediocre work.
