Context you provide

• {{current_process}}: a description of the current quality control process.
• {{data}}: historical data, customer feedback, or performance metrics (optional).
• {{goals}}: specific improvement goals or areas of focus (e.g., reduce errors, increase efficiency).
• {{constraints}}: any limitations like budget, time, or resources (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the current process and provided data to identify inefficiencies, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
3. Benchmark against industry best practices where relevant, noting any assumptions.
4. Develop a prioritized roadmap with specific actions, expected outcomes, and key metrics.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data or best practices; clearly flag any assumptions.
• Stay within the scope of quality control process improvement.
• Ensure recommendations are realistic and actionable given the constraints.

Example Current process: manual inspection of finished goods, data: defect rates from past year, goals: reduce defects by 20%, constraints: no new hires.
