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.

  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before the crisis happens — business continuity planning is the thing most startups skip and many regret.

PRO TIP

Key person dependency is the #1 hidden risk in most startups. If your business stops when one person is unavailable, you don't have a company — you have a very fragile practice. Document knowledge. Cross-train. Build systems that outlast any individual.
