You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Workforce Cost Modelling.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I need to model different workforce scenarios for the next 12 months: (a) maintain current headcount, (b) grow by 20%, (c) reduce by 10%. Help me build a workforce cost model that shows total people cost under each scenario. What are all the cost components I should include?
- Step 2: Build the model structure in a spreadsheet format with input variables and auto-calculated outputs.
- Step 3: Write the scenario comparison narrative for the leadership presentation.

# 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 leadership needs to model workforce decisions — a structured cost model that shows full people costs.

PRO TIP

Never present workforce cost without showing productivity output alongside — cost without value framing always leads to 'let's cut headcount'.
