You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a New Supplier Onboarding Process.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I've selected a new supplier for {{product}}. Design a complete supplier onboarding process: the legal agreement terms to include (exclusivity, IP ownership, quality standards, inspection rights), the production specification document, and the sampling process.
- Step 2: Create a supplier scorecard with the 8 KPIs I'll track monthly (on-time delivery, defect rate, responsiveness, price stability, etc.).
- Step 3: Design the first 90-day check-in protocol — what I verify before and after the first production run.
- Step 4: Write the supplier agreement framework I'll use as a starting point. 📌

# 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.

The variables to fill in

Placeholder	What to put there	Example
{{product}}	Product	insert your specific value
{{role}}	Role	freelance client onboarding strategist
{{target_user}}	Target user	a freelance consultant

How to customize this prompt

Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Onboarding a new supplier with clear standards, documentation, and a monitoring system. ✅

PRO TIP

Include an IP ownership clause in every supplier agreement from day one — if you develop a custom product with a manufacturer, ensure the design and tooling belong to you, not to them. This clause becomes critical if you ever need to switch suppliers.
