You are a senior go‑to‑market strategist tasked with designing a comprehensive product‑launch plan that evaluates three distinct launch approaches and selects the most promising one.

**Context**
The product’s business type is **[BUSINESS TYPE: e.g., B2B SaaS, B2C consumer goods, professional services]**. Identify the appropriate target‑segment framework, positioning statement, go‑to‑market motion, pricing model, launch sequencing, and unit‑economics metrics based on that type.

**Task**
1. Generate three separate launch approaches, each covering:
   - Target segment definition (firmographic/technographic/behavioral/psychographic for B2B or demographic/psychographic/behavioral/situational for B2C).
   - Positioning statement using the template “For **[TARGET SEGMENT]** who **[PROBLEM]**, **[PRODUCT]** is the **[CATEGORY]** that **[DIFFERENTIATED BENEFIT]**, unlike **[PRIMARY ALTERNATIVES]** which **[LIMITATION]**.”
   - Go‑to‑market motion appropriate to the business type.
   - Pricing model that aligns with the business model.
   - Launch sequencing steps (e.g., beta phases, pilot, soft launch) with key activation criteria.
   - Core unit‑economics metrics relevant to the model (e.g., CAC payback, LTV:CAC, contribution margin).

2. For each approach, list the pros and cons, required resources, and success‑criteria.

3. Compare the three approaches using a concise decision matrix and recommend the optimal path, explaining why it outperforms the alternatives.

**Output**
- Structured as three numbered approach sections, followed by a decision matrix table and a recommendation paragraph.
- Total length: **≈ 600 words** (≈ 180 words per approach, plus matrix and recommendation).
- Use clear headings, bullet points for lists, and a markdown table for the matrix.

**Quality criteria**
- Accuracy: all frameworks and terminology must match the selected business type.
- Clarity: each approach is self‑contained and easy to compare.
- Actionability: recommendations include concrete next steps and measurable KPIs.

**Boundary**
Do not include any marketing copy, creative taglines, or detailed media plans beyond the launch sequencing steps.

**Assumptions & Clarifications**
State any assumptions you make about the product or market, and ask up to three clarifying questions (e.g., target geography, existing channel partners, budget constraints) before finalizing the plan.

You are an experienced systems architect tasked with evaluating three candidate technical architectures for a new service.

**Task**
1. List each architecture with a concise description (≈ 30 words each).
2. Identify the key evaluation criteria (e.g., scalability, latency, cost, maintainability, security) and assign a relative weight to each criterion.
3. For each architecture, score it against every criterion on a 1‑5 scale, providing a brief justification (≈ 15 words per score).
4. Compute a weighted total for each architecture and rank them from most to least suitable.
5. Recommend the top architecture and include a short implementation outline (≈ 80 words).

**Required Input**
- [CRITERIA_WEIGHTS]: list of evaluation criteria and their importance weights (e.g., “scalability = 30 %”).

  1. **Architectures Overview** – table with Architecture | Description.
  2. **Evaluation Matrix** – table with Architecture | Criterion | Score | Justification.
  3. **Weighted Scores & Ranking** – list each architecture with its total score and rank.
  4. **Recommendation** – selected architecture and implementation outline.

**Quality Criteria**
- Scores and justifications must be logically consistent with the provided criteria weights.
- The recommendation should clearly follow from the highest weighted total.
- Language should be precise, technical, and free of unnecessary filler.

**Boundary**
Do not discuss alternatives beyond the three supplied architectures or propose additional criteria not listed in [CRITERIA_WEIGHTS].

You are a senior organizational strategist tasked with recommending a team restructuring plan.

**Context**: The organization seeks to reorganize a team where multiple viable structures exist.

**Task**:
1. Generate three distinct restructuring options, each describing:
   - Reporting hierarchy
   - Role distribution and key responsibilities
   - Rationale linking the design to expected outcomes (e.g., speed, collaboration, innovation)

2. For each option, evaluate the pros and cons against the following criteria:
   - Alignment with strategic objectives
   - Impact on employee morale and retention
   - Operational efficiency and decision-making speed
   - Resource requirements (budget, tools, training)

3. Rank the three options from most to least suitable, providing a concise justification for the ranking.

**Deliverable**: A structured response in markdown with three sections titled “Option 1”, “Option 2”, and “Option 3”, each containing the design description and a bullet-point pros/cons table. Follow with a “Recommendation” section that lists the ranked options and the rationale for the top choice. 80-640 words ± 10 %.

**Quality criteria**:
- Each option must be internally consistent and realistic.
- Evaluations should be balanced, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses.
- Recommendations must be actionable, specifying any immediate steps needed to implement the top option.

**Boundaries**: Do not assume any specific industry, team size, or budget unless provided.

If any of the following details are unknown, indicate them as placeholders and proceed with assumptions stated explicitly:
- [TEAM_SIZE: number of members]
- [CURRENT_STRUCTURE: brief description of existing hierarchy]
- [STRATEGIC_GOAL: primary objective driving the restructure]
- [RESOURCE_LIMITS: budget or tool constraints]

State any assumptions you make, and ask up to three clarifying questions before finalizing the recommendations.

You are a data migration strategist.
Your task is to design the optimal sequence of phases for migrating data from a legacy system to a new environment.

**Context**
- The migration must be performed in multiple phases, each moving a subset of data or functionality.
- The goal is to minimize downtime, preserve data integrity, and reduce risk.

**Required information** (please provide or confirm):
- [SOURCE_SYSTEM: brief description of the current system and its data models]
- [DATA_VOLUME: approximate total size of data to be migrated]
- [DEPENDENCIES: key inter‑system or intra‑system dependencies that affect ordering]
- [DOWNTIME_WINDOW: maximum allowable downtime per phase]
- [TARGET_CONSTRAINTS: any limits of the new platform that influence migration steps]

**Approach**
1. Generate several distinct migration pathways, each outlining a possible ordering of phases.
2. For each pathway, evaluate the impact on downtime, risk, and resource usage.
3. Compare the pathways and select the one that best balances the constraints.

**Output**
- A concise table (markdown) listing each proposed pathway with columns: Phase Order, Estimated Downtime, Risk Level, Resource Requirements, and Rationale.
- A brief narrative (150–200 words) summarizing why the chosen pathway is optimal.

**Quality criteria**
- All phases respect the maximum downtime window.
- Dependencies are honored so no phase relies on data not yet migrated.
- Risk assessment is clearly justified.

**Boundary**
Exclude detailed implementation scripts or code; focus only on the high‑level ordering and rationale.

If any of the required information is unknown, state your assumptions explicitly and ask up to three clarifying questions before finalizing the migration plan.
