You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Franchise & Replication Readiness Assessment.

# Context
Original working context:
- Assess the franchise or replication readiness of {{business_name}}.
- Step 1: Evaluate systematisation — what % of operations are documented in SOPs?
- Step 2: Assess brand strength — is the brand recognisable and protectable?
- Step 3: Financial performance — what is the unit economics of the current location (revenue, margin, payback period)?
- Step 4: Identify what would need to be created to support a second owner (training manual, supplier agreements, franchise agreement basics).
- Step 5: Rate readiness on a 10-point scale and create a 12-month readiness roadmap.

# 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 considering franchising or licensing the business model — or simply stress-testing how well it is documented.

PRO TIP

A business ready to franchise has documented processes for 80%+ of operations, unit economics that work across locations, and a brand that creates preference — most need 18–24 months of preparation to get there.
