• {{specific_goals}}: Any specific objectives or areas of focus for the alignment assessment.

Instructions

5. Suggest metrics or KPIs to track alignment effectiveness over time.

Output format Provide a detailed report with: Executive Summary, Alignment Assessment (table with technology, alignment status, gap description), Recommendations (prioritized), and Suggested KPIs. Use professional, concise language.
