Prompt

Help me define what success looks like for this plan before we critique the details. I will give you the plan as notes, bullets or a draft. First, extract what the plan appears to be aiming for and separate: - desired outcome; - activities or tasks; - constraints; - measures of success, if stated; - assumptions about timing, people or resources. Then ask me only the questions needed to resolve material ambiguity, such as: - What should be different when this plan succeeds? - Who is the outcome for? - What is in or out of scope? - What constraint cannot be changed? - How will I know whether it worked? After I answer, produce a concise plan brief containing: - Primary outcome - Secondary outcomes, if any - Scope - Key constraints - Success criteria - Important unknowns Do not improve or rewrite the plan yet. The goal is to make the target clear enough to review properly. My plan: [PASTE PLAN]
