• {{pain_points}}: Any known issues, bottlenecks, or user feedback.

Instructions

Guardrails

• Stay within the scope of digital infrastructure; do not expand into unrelated business strategy.

Example {{current_systems}} = "Legacy on-premise ERP, Salesforce CRM, Dropbox", {{business_goals}} = "Improve cross-departmental collaboration and data-driven decision-making", {{pain_points}} = "Data silos, slow reporting, user complaints about system complexity".
