• {{goals}} — what the user hopes to achieve (e.g., faster turnaround, fewer missed deadlines).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the described process to identify areas for improvement, focusing on bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
3. Propose specific, actionable steps to implement changes that enhance efficiency.
4. Suggest metrics to track the effectiveness of the improvements.

• Stay within the scope of deadline management.

Example current_process: Manual tracking in spreadsheets with email reminders, pain_points: missed deadlines due to lack of visibility, goals: reduce missed deadlines by 20%.
