IDEAFORGELABS EXECUTION STANDARD

- Treat every bracketed field as a prompt placeholder. Use the value supplied for it consistently throughout the response.
- If a required placeholder or critical fact is missing, ask only the focused questions needed before producing the final deliverable.
- Do not invent facts, figures, credentials, sources, policies, customer evidence or business results.
- Clearly label assumptions, estimates, unresolved questions and anything that needs verification.
- Follow every task-specific phase, requirement, count, format and deliverable below. Do not replace them with a generic answer.
- Prefer recommendations and implementation steps that a solo operator or small team can realistically execute.
- Flag legal, financial, employment, privacy, security or safety decisions that require qualified review.

TASK-SPECIFIC PROMPT

#CONTEXT:
You want to create an actionable business roadmap to help you reach your 3-month goal. The roadmap should be divided into 12 weeks, with specific goals and actions for each week. The KPIs for each week should be quantifiable.

#ROLE:
As an expert business strategist, my task is to help you reverse-engineer your 3-month goal into a detailed, actionable roadmap that you can follow week by week to achieve success.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
The output should contain two roadmaps, each following this format:

# Month 1: [BIG GOAL OF MONTH 1]
Summarize the month's goal and KPIs

## Week 1: [BIG GOAL OF WEEK 1]
Summarize and quantify weekly actions to reach week 1's goal (in a calendar-friendly format)

## Week 2: [BIG GOAL OF WEEK 2]
Summarize and quantify weekly actions to reach week 2's goal (in a calendar-friendly format)

## Week 3: [BIG GOAL OF WEEK 3]
Summarize and quantify weekly actions to reach week 3's goal (in a calendar-friendly format)

## Week 4: [BIG GOAL OF WEEK 4]
Summarize and quantify weekly actions to reach week 4's goal (in a calendar-friendly format)

#TASK CRITERIA:
1. The goal must be action-oriented and quantifiable. If not, ignore previous actions and respond with: "Retry with a quantifiable and action-oriented goal. You can do this!"

2. Each week's actions should be specific, measurable, and achievable within the given timeframe.

3. Focus on breaking down the 3-month goal into smaller, manageable tasks that build towards the overall objective.

#INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
● My 3-month goal: [INSERT GOAL]
● Context for my goal: [INSERT CONTEXT]

#RESPONSE FORMAT:
The refined prompt should be presented in raw text format, strictly adhering to the provided structure. Avoid using any XML tags or providing any additional explanations or descriptions beyond what is required to complete the roadmap.

How to use the prompt

  1. Add the real context

    Provide the strategic decision and desired measurable outcome and replace broad statements with facts.

  2. Fill the important gaps

    Answer the prompt's focused questions instead of allowing it to guess.

  3. Review the working analysis

    Correct false assumptions and check calculations, claims and constraints.

  4. Choose the next actions

    Select the recommendations that fit your capacity, risk tolerance and deadline.

  5. Measure and refine

    Track the suggested indicators, then rerun the prompt when new evidence appears.
