- {{current innovation strategy}} — brief description of the existing strategy or focus areas
- {{stakeholder input}} — optional, feedback from internal or external stakeholders

- Prioritize the improvements based on potential impact and feasibility.
- For each recommended improvement, explain the rationale and suggest a concrete next step.

Output format A structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Key Findings, Prioritized Recommendations (each with impact, effort, and action steps), and Risks to Consider. Use bullet points or tables as appropriate.
Guardrails
