Before investing significantly in any strategy that rests on unvalidated assumptions
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Strategic assumption testing. # Context Original working context: My strategy rests on these assumptions: {{list}}. Help me test them rigorously. For each assumption: rate its importance to the strategy (critical/important/minor) and its current evidence base (strong/weak/assumed). Then: identify the 3 riskiest assumptions (critical + weak evidence) and design the cheapest way to test each one before committing further resources. # 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.
