- {{audience}}: The decision-makers or stakeholders you need to persuade.
- {{key_points}}: Any existing points or constraints you want to include (optional).
- {{evidence_preference}}: Whether you prefer data, case studies, expert quotes, or a mix (optional).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.

- For each major claim, provide at least one piece of supporting evidence: a statistic, a case study, or a logical rationale.
- Tailor the argument to the specified audience, using language and priorities that resonate with them.
- Include a brief section on potential counterarguments and how to address them.

- Flag any assumptions you make about the audience or context.
- Stay focused on the given initiative; do not drift into unrelated topics.
Example
