What surprised us (positively and negatively)? - Step 3: Write the 'Year X → Year X+1' transition memo: how does this year's learning inform next year's strategy? - Step 4: Write an annual update to our investors/advisors/team (150 words) — honest, forward-looking, not a PR piece. # 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.
