Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. For each option, analyze the potential benefits, risks, and trade-offs.
3. Compare options against the provided criteria, using a simple scoring system (e.g., 1-5) where appropriate.
4. Highlight any assumptions or missing information that could affect the analysis.
5. Provide a clear recommendation with rationale, and note any conditions that would change the recommendation.

Output format A structured decision brief with sections: Options Analysis, Comparison Matrix, Recommendation, and Key Considerations. Use tables or bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone neutral and evidence-based.

• Stay focused on the provided options and criteria.
