The Consultant’s Guide to Opus 5
A free guide by Kamran Imam — Instagram · TikTok · YouTube
100+ prompts that make Claude work the way a top-tier strategy team works.
The big strategy firms — the McKinseys, Bains, and BCGs of the world — don’t have smarter people than you. They have better process: structured problem solving, hypothesis-driven research, disciplined financial logic, and a ruthless standard for how insights get communicated. That process is learnable, and Claude Opus 5 is very good at running it with you.
This guide gives you that process as prompts. Everything here is written fresh for this page — the frameworks referenced (issue trees, MECE, SCQA, the pyramid principle, Porter’s five forces) are public knowledge taught in every business school; the prompts are my own.
Who this is for: independent consultants, in-house strategy and ops people, analysts, founders who need consulting-grade thinking without the consulting-grade invoice — and anyone whose boss just said “can you put a deck together on this?”
How to use this guide (read this first)
- Give Claude a brief before you give it a task. Every prompt below works 10x better if you start your chat by pasting two short paragraphs: who the client/company is, the industry, the decision being made, who the audience is, and any constraints. I keep a template for this at /r/brief.
- One workstream per chat. Don’t mix the market sizing chat with the deck-writing chat. Claude stays sharper and your usage lasts longer (/r/limits).
- Chain the sections. These prompts are ordered the way an engagement actually runs: frame the problem → research → analyze → model → synthesize → present. The output of one prompt is the input to the next.
- You are the partner, Claude is the team. Never send AI output to a client you haven’t pressure-tested. Section J exists for exactly that.
A. Problem framing & structuring (1–14)
The firms’ core habit: never start work until the problem is defined and disaggregated. (MECE means “mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive” — no overlaps, no gaps.)
1THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
Rewrite this messy situation as a single-sentence problem statement with: the decision maker, the decision, the deadline, and the success metric. Situation: [paste]. Give me 3 candidate framings and tell me which you'd choose and why.2THE ISSUE TREE
Build an issue tree for: [problem statement]. Break it into 3-4 MECE branches, each branch into 2-4 sub-questions, until every leaf is a question we could actually answer with data. Flag which leaves matter most.3THE HYPOTHESIS ENGINE
Give me the 5 most plausible hypotheses for [problem/observation], each with: the logic behind it, what evidence would confirm it, what evidence would kill it, and how fast we could test it. Rank by likelihood × ease of testing.4DAY-ONE ANSWER
Based only on what I've told you, give me your best 'day one answer' to [question] — the answer a sharp partner would sketch before any analysis — plus the 3 analyses most likely to change it.5THE 80/20 CUT
Here are all the workstreams we could run: [list]. Which 20% will produce 80% of the answer? Cut the rest and justify each cut in one line.6SO-WHAT LADDER
Take this finding: [paste]. Ask 'so what?' five times in a row, going one level deeper each time, until we reach the implication a CEO would care about.7THE CONSTRAINT FLIP
Assume our biggest constraint ([constraint]) disappeared tomorrow. How does the recommended strategy change? Now assume it doubled. What does that tell us about how central it really is?8ROOT CAUSE, FIVE WHYS
Symptom: [describe]. Run a five-whys analysis down 3 separate causal paths (people, process, market). Show where the paths converge — that's the root cause candidate.9DEFINE DONE
For the question [question], define what 'answered' looks like: the 3-5 sub-answers we need, the confidence level required for each, and the minimum evidence that gets us there.10THE SCOPING CALL
I have a 30-minute scoping call about [project]. Give me the 10 questions that will most reduce ambiguity, ordered so the early ones unlock the later ones. Include the one uncomfortable question most people skip.11STAKEHOLDER MAP
Map the stakeholders for [decision]: for each, their incentive, their likely objection, what they'd need to see to say yes, and their influence (high/med/low). Format as a table I can act on.12REFRAME IT THREE WAYS
Here's the problem as given: [paste]. Reframe it as (a) a cost problem, (b) a growth problem, and (c) a risk problem. For each frame, what's the obvious move? Which frame serves the client best?13THE PRE-MORTEM
It's 12 months later and this project failed. Write the post-mortem: the 5 most likely causes of death, early warning signs for each, and the cheapest prevention we could put in place this week.14ASSUMPTION LEDGER
List every assumption baked into this plan: [paste]. Grade each: how load-bearing is it (if wrong, does the plan die?) and how confident are we? Give me the 3 assumptions to test first.B. Market research & market sizing (15–29)
15MARKET SIZING, TWO WAYS
Size the market for [product] in [geography] two ways: top-down (start from a known macro number and narrow) and bottom-up (start from customers × usage × price). Show every assumption as a line I can edit, then explain why the two estimates differ.16TAM/SAM/SOM
Build TAM, SAM, SOM for [business] (total market → the part we can serve → the part we can realistically win). State the driver behind each narrowing step and give a pessimistic/base/optimistic range for SOM.17THE SANITY CHECKER
I estimated [market/number]. Sanity-check it three independent ways: an analogy to a known market, a per-capita logic, and a revenue-of-known-players logic. Tell me if my number survives.18SEGMENT THE MARKET
Segment the market for [product] by need, not demographics: what job is each segment hiring the product to do? For each segment: size signal, willingness to pay, and how hard they are to reach.19GROWTH DRIVER DECOMPOSITION
This market grew [X]% over [period]. Decompose the growth into: more customers, higher usage per customer, and higher price. Which driver is running out, and what does that mean for the next 3 years?20THE DESK RESEARCH SPRINT
I need a research plan on [topic] I can execute in one day with public sources. List: the 8 questions to answer, likely source types for each (filings, industry reports, job postings, review sites, forums), and traps to avoid (stale data, promotional numbers).21TREND OR FAD
Evaluate whether [trend] is structural or cyclical. What underlying costs, technologies, regulations, or behaviors drive it? What would have to be true for it to reverse? Verdict with confidence level.22REGULATION SCAN
For [industry] in [geography], list the regulatory factors that most affect profitability, what's changed in the last 24 months, and what's pending. Flag anything that could invalidate a market-entry thesis. Note where I must verify with a primary source.23CUSTOMER INTERVIEW GUIDE
Draft a 30-minute customer interview guide about [topic]: 5 warm-up questions, 10 core questions ordered from behavior to motivation (past behavior before opinions), and 3 closing questions. No leading questions — audit yourself.24SURVEY DESIGNER
Design a 10-question survey to test [hypothesis]. Mix: screener, behavioral, preference (max-diff or forced ranking, not agree/disagree), and one open text. State what result would confirm vs kill the hypothesis before we field it.25INTERVIEW SYNTHESIZER
Here are my raw interview notes: [paste]. Extract: recurring pains (with frequency), surprising quotes (anonymized, paraphrased), points of disagreement between interviewees, and the 3 insights that change our thesis.26EXPERT CALL PREP
I have 45 minutes with an expert in [field]. Draft questions that only an insider could answer — skip anything Google can tell me. Order: warm-up, mechanics ('walk me through how X actually happens'), economics, contrarian checks, and the closer: 'what is everyone getting wrong?'27CHANNEL CHECK
For [product category], what would job postings, supplier announcements, patent filings, and app-review velocity tell us about whether [company] is growing or shrinking? Build me a scrappy signals dashboard I can update monthly.28PRICING RESEARCH
Map how [product category] is priced across the market: models (subscription, usage, license), typical anchors, and where discounting hides. Then propose 3 pricing experiments [company] could run without a repricing project.29DEMAND PROXY HUNT
I can't get direct demand data for [market]. List 8 proxy signals (search volume, hiring, imports, permits, complementary-product sales), how to read each, and their failure modes.C. Competitive & customer insights (30–41)
30COMPETITOR TEARDOWN
Do a structured teardown of [competitor]: value proposition, target segment, pricing, channel, cost advantages, and visible strategy shifts in the last 18 months. End with: what they're betting on, and what they're structurally unable to copy from us.31FIVE FORCES, APPLIED
Run Porter's five forces on [industry] — but skip the textbook recitation. For each force: the 1-2 facts that matter here, the trend direction, and the profit-pool implication. One page max.32THE MOAT AUDIT
Assess [company]'s moat honestly: network effects, switching costs, scale economics, brand, regulation, unique assets. Score each 0-3 with evidence, then tell me which moat is eroding fastest and why.33WIN/LOSS AUTOPSY
Here are deals we won and lost: [paste list with notes]. Find the pattern: what do wins share, what do losses share, which objections recur, and what does that imply about our positioning vs [competitor]?34POSITIONING MAP
Place these players [list] on a 2x2 where the axes are the two dimensions customers actually trade off (propose the axes and defend them). Where is the empty quadrant, and is it empty because it's a bad business or because nobody's gotten there yet?35STRATEGY REVERSE-ENGINEER
Based on [competitor]'s public moves (hires, launches, pricing changes, partnerships: [paste]), infer their strategy. What are they optimizing for? What would their next 3 moves be if that inference is right? What early signal would confirm it?36THE DISRUPTOR TEST
If a well-funded startup wanted to attack [incumbent business] today, where would it enter? Which customer segment is over-served and overpaying? Sketch the wedge product and the expansion path.37SWITCHING COST X-RAY
List everything that keeps customers with [incumbent]: contracts, data, integrations, habit, risk aversion. For each: how strong, how it decays, and what an attacker could do to neutralize it.38VOICE-OF-CUSTOMER MINING
Here are reviews/comments about [product/category]: [paste]. Cluster them into themes, count rough frequency, separate 'loud but rare' from 'quiet but common', and give me the 3 unmet needs with the largest gap between importance and satisfaction.39JOBS-TO-BE-DONE EXTRACTOR
From these customer notes [paste], write the top 5 jobs-to-be-done in the format: 'When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome].' Flag which jobs our product serves poorly.40COMPETITIVE RESPONSE WAR-GAME
We're about to [move]. Play [competitor A] and [competitor B]: what does each do in response within 90 days? Which response hurts us most? What pre-commitment or framing blunts it?41BENCHMARK TABLE
Build a benchmark table for [company] vs 4 peers on the metrics that drive this industry ([suggest them]). Mark where data is public vs estimated, estimate conservatively, and bold the 2 gaps that matter.D. Financial analysis & scenario modeling (42–58)
Claude is strong at financial logic — structure, drivers, sensitivities. Keep the final arithmetic in a spreadsheet you control, and have Claude build the spreadsheet’s skeleton.
42THE DRIVER TREE
Build a driver tree for [metric, e.g. EBITDA] of [business]: decompose into price × volume, cost lines, and their operational drivers. Mark each driver: controllable vs external, and high vs low leverage.43THREE-SCENARIO MODEL
Frame a base / upside / downside scenario for [decision]. For each: the 4-6 key assumptions, what triggers that world, the headline financial outcome logic, and the early indicator that tells us which world we're entering.44SENSITIVITY RANKING
Given this simple model [paste assumptions and formula logic], rank the assumptions by how much a ±20% swing in each moves the outcome. Which two deserve real diligence? Which can stay rough?45UNIT ECONOMICS AUTOPSY
Break down the unit economics of [business]: revenue per unit, variable costs, contribution margin, CAC (cost to acquire a customer), payback period, LTV logic. Show the formula chain, then stress-test: what breaks first at scale?46BREAK-EVEN FRAME
For [initiative], compute the break-even frame: how many [units/customers/months] until it pays for itself? Give me the formula, the assumptions I need to fill, and the 'is this plausible' comparison to a known benchmark.47BUILD VS BUY VS PARTNER
Structure a build/buy/partner analysis for [capability]: cost logic, speed, control, and risk for each path, plus the reversibility of each choice. Recommend, and name the condition under which the recommendation flips.48THE CFO’S QUESTIONS
I'm proposing [investment]. List the 10 questions a skeptical CFO will ask, in the order they'll ask them, with the strongest honest answer to each based on: [context]. Flag the two questions where our answer is weakest.49NPV LOGIC CHECK
Walk through the NPV (net present value — future cash flows discounted to today) logic for [project]: cash flow timeline, sensible discount rate range and why, terminal value logic, and the three places NPV analyses most often lie.50COST STRUCTURE X-RAY
Map the cost structure of [business type]: fixed vs variable, step costs, and which line items typically hide waste. Then give me 10 cost questions to ask the team, ordered by likely savings.51PRICE MOVE SIMULATOR
We're considering a [X]% price change on [product]. Structure the analysis: volume elasticity logic, competitor response, mix shift, and churn risk. What data do we need, and what's the cheap pilot that de-risks it?52CASH RUNWAY REALITY
Given: [cash, burn, receivables/payables timing], build the runway math including the 3 timing effects founders forget (collections lag, annual-prepay bumps, severance/notice costs). Give me the honest date and the 3 levers that extend it most.53SCENARIO NARRATIVE
Turn this scenario table [paste] into three one-paragraph narratives an executive can retell: 'the world where we win', 'the world where we grind', 'the world where we exit'. Each ends with its trigger indicator.54THE BRIDGE
Build a bridge (waterfall) explanation from last year's [metric] to this year's: list the 4-6 blocks, the logic for sizing each, and the one-line story of the bridge. Format so I can rebuild it as a chart.55INVESTMENT ONE-PAGER
Draft the one-page investment case for [initiative]: the ask, the return logic, the base-case numbers, the two biggest risks with mitigations, and the decision being requested. Ruthless about length.56BENCHMARK MARGINS
What are typical margin ranges for [industry] at gross, operating, and net level, and what usually explains being above or below range? Mark clearly which figures you're confident in vs which I should verify — do not fabricate precision.57WORKING CAPITAL FINDER
Where is cash trapped in [business type]? Walk inventory, receivables, payables, and deposits. For each: the diagnostic ratio, what 'bad' looks like, and the standard fix with its downside.58THE DEAL SANITY CHECK
We're offered [deal terms]. Restate the deal in plain English, compute who carries which risk in which scenario, list what's missing from the terms, and draft the 5 questions to ask before signing. (Then have a lawyer read it — this is analysis, not legal advice.)E. Strategy frameworks, applied (59–68)
59WHERE TO PLAY / HOW TO WIN
Force a choice for [business]: list 3 mutually exclusive 'where to play' options (segment × geography × channel) and for each, the honest 'how to win' — the advantage that makes it defensible. Recommend one and say what we're explicitly choosing NOT to do.60PORTFOLIO SORT
Sort these products/units [list with rough growth + share/margin data] into invest / maintain / harvest / exit buckets. Justify each placement in one line and flag any unit where the data could support two buckets.61GROWTH OPTION STACK
Generate 10 growth options for [business] across: core expansion, adjacent products, new segments, new geographies, new business models. Score each on size, fit with our advantages, and time-to-proof. Shortlist 3.62THE ADJACENCY TEST
We're considering entering [adjacent market]. Test the adjacency honestly: which of our real assets (customers, capabilities, data, brand permission) transfer, which don't, and what do incumbents there have that we underestimate?63BUSINESS MODEL FLIP
Take [business] and redesign it under 3 alternative models: subscription, marketplace, and services-led. For each: what changes in economics, what breaks operationally, and who wins/loses among current customers.64STRATEGIC OPTIONS MEMO
Write the options memo for [decision]: Option A/B/C, each with the case for, the case against, cost logic, reversibility, and what evidence would settle it. End with a recommendation and the decision deadline.65THE COUNTER-THESIS
Our strategy assumes [thesis]. Write the strongest counter-thesis a smart rival board would present — steelman it, don't strawman it. Then list what evidence would tell us who's right within 2 quarters.66CAPABILITY GAP MAP
To execute [strategy], list the capabilities required, grade our current state on each (evidence, not vibes), and propose close-the-gap moves: hire, train, partner, or acquire — with rough cost and time for each.67M&A SCREEN
Define a screen for acquisition targets that would accelerate [strategy]: the 5 must-have criteria, 3 nice-to-haves, red flags, and where to source candidates. Then apply it to: [candidate list, if any].68THE STRATEGY ON A PAGE
Compress our whole strategy into one page: the ambition, where we play, how we win, the 3 must-win battles, the metrics that prove progress, and what we've chosen not to do. If it doesn't fit, tell me what's actually undecided.F. Executive communication: memos & one-pagers (69–80)
The firms’ rule: the thinking isn’t done until it’s communicable. (SCQA = Situation, Complication, Question, Answer. The pyramid principle = lead with the answer, group supporting points below it.)
69SCQA OPENER
Turn this background [paste] into a tight SCQA opening: 2 sentences of Situation, 2 of Complication, 1 Question, 1 Answer. The Answer must be a recommendation, not a topic.70PYRAMID BUILDER
Restructure these findings [paste] into a pyramid: one governing thought at the top, 3 supporting arguments, evidence under each. Every level must answer 'why should I believe the level above?'71THE EXEC SUMMARY
Write the executive summary of this document [paste] in 150 words: the recommendation first, the 3 reasons, the ask. An executive who reads nothing else must be able to make the decision from this.72ANSWER-FIRST REWRITE
This memo buries the lead: [paste]. Rewrite it answer-first without losing nuance. Show me before/after of the first 3 sentences so I can see the difference.73THE ELEVATOR VERSION
I have 45 seconds with the CEO in the elevator about [topic]. Script it: hook (the number they don't know), implication, recommendation, ask. Conversational, not memorized-sounding.74PRE-READ MEMO
Draft the 1-page pre-read for [meeting]: purpose, context in 3 bullets, the options with trade-offs, the recommendation, and the specific decisions we need from this meeting. End with 'what we are NOT deciding today.'75THE PUSHBACK PREP
Here's my recommendation: [paste]. Generate the 8 hardest questions [audience] will ask, from friendly-skeptical to hostile. For each: the honest answer, the data to have ready, and the trap to avoid.76BAD NEWS, WELL DELIVERED
Help me deliver this bad news to [audience]: [situation]. Structure: the reality (no cushioning), why it happened (no scapegoats), what we're doing, what we need. Keep dignity for everyone involved; no corporate euphemisms.77THE BOARD UPDATE
Turn these operational updates [paste] into a board-grade update: headline status per area (on/off track), the 2 decisions needed, the risk being watched, and the metric trend that matters. One page.78JARGON TRANSLATOR
Rewrite this for a smart audience outside our function: [paste]. Replace every term of art with plain language or a one-line gloss. Keep it the same length or shorter.79MEETING → MEMO
Here are my raw notes from [meeting]: [paste]. Produce: decisions made, actions with owners and dates, open questions with a proposed resolver for each, and a 3-sentence summary for people who weren't there.80THE NAMING PROMPT
We need a name for [initiative/framework] that a busy executive will remember and repeat. Give me 10 options across: descriptive, metaphor, acronym-free short phrase. Kill anything that sounds like software marketing.G. Client-ready decks (81–92)
81DECK STORYBOARD
Storyboard a [N]-slide deck for [purpose, audience]: for each slide, give the action title (a full sentence stating the takeaway, not a label like 'Market Overview'), the exhibit that proves it, and the one thing the audience should remember. The titles alone must read as the complete argument.82ACTION TITLE REWRITE
These slide titles are labels, not takeaways: [paste list]. Rewrite each as a single-sentence claim with the 'so what' inside it. Max 12 words each.83ONE SLIDE, ONE IDEA
This slide is trying to do too much: [describe/paste content]. Split it: what's the ONE idea, what evidence stays, what moves to appendix, what gets cut entirely.84EXHIBIT CHOOSER
I need to show [insight] with data shaped like [describe data]. What's the right exhibit — bar, line, waterfall, scatter, 2x2, table — and why? What's the wrong-but-tempting choice, and what would it mislead about?85THE GHOST DECK
Before any analysis, build the ghost deck (the empty version of the final story) for [engagement question]: slide titles as hypotheses, each with the analysis that would fill it. This becomes the work plan.86QUANT TO HEADLINE
Here's an analysis output: [paste numbers/table]. Write the headline finding 3 ways: conservative, standard, and punchy. Flag if the punchy version overstates what the data supports.87APPENDIX DISCIPLINE
Here's my deck outline: [paste]. Sort every slide: main story (must-see), backup (likely asked), appendix (edge questions). If the main story exceeds 12 slides, tell me what to cut and why it survives without them.88THE PAGE-TURN TEST
Read these action titles in sequence: [paste]. Does the argument flow with no logical jumps? Mark every gap where a listener would say 'wait, how did we get here?' and draft the bridging slide title.89DATA VIZ CLEANUP
Critique this chart [describe/paste]: what's the message, what's decorating vs informing, what should be axis-labeled, annotated, or deleted? Rebuild instructions in bullet form for my designer (or my own hands).90CLIENT-VOICE ADJUSTMENT
Rewrite these slide takeaways in the client's language, not consultant language: [paste + notes on how this client talks]. Kill: 'leverage', 'synergies', 'best-in-class', 'holistic'. Keep their internal terms: [list].91THE SKEPTIC’S PASS
Review this deck outline as the client's most skeptical executive: [paste]. Where would they say 'we knew this already', 'the data doesn't show that', or 'so what do you want from me'? Fix list, ordered by damage.92WORKSHOP SLIDES
Design a 90-minute working session on [topic] for [audience]: the 3 framing slides, the 2 exercises (with instructions and timeboxes), the capture template, and the closing commitment slide. Goal: decisions, not discussion.H. Engagement & project management (93–100)
93THE WORK PLAN
Build a [N]-week work plan for [engagement]: workstreams, weekly milestones, owner per stream, dependencies, and the interim deliverable each week ('always be shippable'). Table format.94KICKOFF AGENDA
Draft the kickoff agenda for [project]: alignment on the question, success criteria, roles, data access list, meeting cadence, and the risks we're naming out loud on day one. 60 minutes, timeboxed.95DATA REQUEST LIST
Generate the initial data request for [engagement type]: item, why we need it, format, owner, sensitivity level. Order by 'blocks everything' first. Keep it under 15 items — long lists get ignored.96STATUS UPDATE, HONEST
Write this week's status update from these notes [paste]: progress, on/off track per workstream (with red/amber/green and a reason, not just a color), decisions needed, and next week's promise. No spin.97SCOPE CREEP DEFENSE
The client asked for [new request] mid-engagement. Draft the response that (a) values the idea, (b) states the trade-off explicitly, (c) offers: swap it in, add time/fee, or park it — with my recommendation.98THE HANDOFF PACK
We're wrapping up. Build the handoff pack outline so the client can run this without us: the tools/models delivered, the operating cadence, the metrics to watch, common failure modes, and the 90-day check-in plan.99RETRO EXTRACTOR
Run a project retro on [engagement]: what worked, what didn't, what we'd do differently — plus the 3 reusable assets we should template for next time. Ask me the questions one at a time.100NEXT-SELL MAP
Based on what we learned in [engagement], where is the client's next real problem (not the one we want to sell)? Draft the 3-sentence note that names it, offers a first step, and asks for nothing.I. The meta-prompts: quality control (101–108)
The difference between AI-assisted and AI-generated is this section. Run these before anything reaches a client.
101THE CONTEXT BRIEF
Before we start: interview me one question at a time until you have enough context to do consulting-grade work on [task]. Cover: the client, the decision, the audience, constraints, and what good looks like. Then summarize the brief back to me for sign-off.102RED TEAM
Attack this deliverable as a rival firm trying to win the client away: [paste]. Where is the logic weakest, the evidence thinnest, the recommendation most self-serving? Be specific and merciless.103THE FACT LEDGER
Go through this document [paste] and build a table: every factual claim, its source (my input / your general knowledge / inference), and a confidence grade. Anything below high confidence gets a 'verify before client' flag. Do not soften this.104STEELMAN THE ALTERNATIVE
We're recommending [A] over [B]. Write the best possible case for [B] as if you genuinely believed it. If our recommendation still survives, say why in 3 sentences. If it wobbles, say that too.105THE JUNIOR CHECK
Explain this analysis [paste] as if to a smart new analyst: every step, every assumption, why each conclusion follows. Anywhere you have to hand-wave, flag it — that's where my thinking has a gap.106CONSISTENCY SWEEP
Check this deck/memo [paste] for internal contradictions: numbers that don't reconcile, claims that conflict across pages, terminology that shifts. List every hit with locations.107THE TONE CALIBRATOR
Score this draft's tone for [audience] on: confidence (hedging vs overclaiming), respect (talking up vs down), and energy. Rewrite the 3 worst sentences. My drafts tend toward [your known tendency].108WHAT AM I NOT ASKING
Given everything in this conversation about [project], what important question have I not asked yet? Give me 5, ranked by how much the answer could change our recommendation.Bonus: the daily drivers (109–112)
109THE MORNING SETUP
Here's my calendar and priorities today: [paste]. Build my day: what to prep for each meeting, what to skip, the one deep-work block to protect, and what to delegate (and to whom).110EMAIL IN MY VOICE
Reply to this email [paste] saying [intent] in my voice: direct, warm, no filler. Three lengths: 2 sentences, 5 sentences, full.111THE LEARNING LOOP
I just finished [meeting/deliverable]. Ask me 3 debrief questions, then extract the one lesson worth writing down and where it applies next.112THE WEEKLY REVIEW
It's Friday. Interview me one question at a time: what moved, what stalled, what surprised me, what I'm avoiding. Then draft next week's top 3 with the first physical action for each.Make these yours
Two upgrades that compound: (1) run THE CONTEXT BRIEF (#101) once per client and save the output — every other prompt gets smarter when you paste it first. (2) When a prompt produces something great, save your edited version. Six months from now your personal library will beat this page.
