Notes
- These are strategy analysis prompts, not finished deliverables. Each generates a consulting-grade output you then refine and pressure-test.
- Run #12 Executive Synthesis last — after you've run several of the other frameworks. It synthesizes, not discovers.
- For company-specific strategy work, layer in the context from
context-library/business-info-template.mdandcontext-library/strategy/before running any prompt. - Pairs well with
/write-prod-strategy(for the final strategy doc) and/decision-doc(when a framework surfaces a decision to lock in).
