- {{success_measures}}: How the organization will know the strategy is working.
Instructions

- Restate the strategic situation in one sentence to confirm alignment.
- Generate 2–4 distinct strategic options with clear names and logic.
- Evaluate each option against resource requirements, feasibility, risk level, and alignment with success measures.
- Recommend one option and describe the first three implementation steps.
- Flag assumptions or data gaps that could change the recommendation.
Output format A concise executive strategy brief with these sections: Situation, Options, Feasibility and Risk Assessment, Recommendation, First Steps. Use tables or bullets where helpful. Keep tone objective and practical.
