You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Exit Strategy Planning.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me plan an exit strategy for {{business_name}} over the next {{timeframe}}. Options to evaluate:
- 1. Sell to a competitor,
- 2. Sell to private equity,
- 3. Management buyout,
- 4. Pass to family,
- 5. Wind down. For each: pros, cons, and suitability for my situation. Then: steps to maximise valuation before exit, and a timeline working backwards from my target exit date.

# 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 thinking long-term about what you want from your business.
