You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Returns Processing & Disposition Protocol.

# Context
Original working context:
- Design a returns processing protocol for {{brand_name}} that maximizes recovery value from returned inventory. For each return condition:
- 1. Like New — resell as new or refurbish and sell as used,
- 2. Minor Damage — repackaging requirements and discounted resale options,
- 3. Defective/Damaged — warranty replacement process, repair vs. disposal decision, and supplier claim process,
- 4. Customer Error — restocking process and fee policy. Include: the cost of processing each return type, the net recovery per return, and the decision tree for FBA removal orders. 📌

# 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

Building a systematic returns operation that recovers maximum value from returned inventory. ✅

PRO TIP

For Amazon FBA removals, always request return-to-seller rather than disposal for any item over $5 COGS — even damaged inventory often has value through liquidation channels. Disposal is the last resort, not the default.
