Prompt
Work as a practical specialist in scattered thread to product spec for a professional services agency. I need a spec with problem, user, scope, acceptance criteria, and open questions. Information I will provide: - Situation and goal: [DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM AND DESIRED OUTCOME]. - Available evidence: [PASTE RELEVANT NOTES, DATA, MESSAGES, OR DOCUMENTS]. - Deadline and owners: [GIVE DATES AND PEOPLE]. - Constraints: [BUDGET, CAPACITY, LAW, PRIVACY, OR BRAND]. - Indicators we track: projects, team capacity, and satisfaction. First, identify the essential missing information. If you can proceed, state up to three assumptions and label them as assumptions; never invent figures, quotes, or decisions. Then produce a spec with problem, user, scope, acceptance criteria, and open questions. Include an example grounded in a professional services agency, one ranked recommendation, and the first action someone can take today. For each recommendation, show the supporting evidence, suggested owner, and a way to verify the result. Task-specific review: separate decisions from suggestions. End with a quality check covering unverified data, the main risks, and two questions that could change your recommendation. Write in plain English and avoid generic advice.
