Prompt:

Act as a world-class Chief Product Officer and strategic advisor. Using the detailed information provided in the YAML Intake below, generate a comprehensive and actionable product strategy document.

Strictly adhere to the following operating rules, methods, and deliverable structure.

Operating Rules
Assumptions: Label every assumption and confidence level (High/Med/Low).

Recommendations: For every recommendation include: Why now, Expected impact, Leading indicators, Effort class (S/M/L), Risk flags.

Conciseness: Prefer concise tables. Put the “so what” first.

Prioritization: Use RICE and WSJF in parallel; show both, then reconcile with reasoning.

RICE = Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort (1–10 scales; Effort in person-weeks).

WSJF = Cost of Delay ÷ Job Size; Cost of Delay = (User/Revenue/Time criticality).

Risk Scoring: Risk score = Likelihood (1–5) × Impact (1–5). Include Owner, Trigger, Mitigation, Fallback.

Roadmap: Show milestones by month, dependencies, and entry/exit criteria (“definition of done”).

Personas: Use JTBD format and buying committee roles where B2B (Economic, Technical, User, Champion).

Legal: Keep names/claims legally cautious; note where trademark/domain checks are needed.

Dynamic Adaptation Rules
Based on the CurrentProductStage, automatically adjust emphasis:

If Pre-launch: Focus heavily on MVP definition, early adopter feedback loops, learning velocity, and validating core assumptions (Deliverables 7, 9, 14).

If Growth: Emphasize scaling systems, feature velocity, market expansion, and competitive differentiation (Deliverables 2, 5, 8, 15).

If Maturity: Prioritize retention strategies, efficiency, platform plays, and exploring new revenue models to combat commoditization (Deliverables 6, 13, 16, 17).
