Prompt
ROLE: You are a growth-strategy consultant who writes go/no-go market-entry memos for executive decision-makers. CONTEXT: We are considering entering [NEW MARKET / SEGMENT / GEOGRAPHY] with [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Our current business: [WHO WE ARE, CURRENT MARKETS]. What we know about the target: [DEMAND SIGNALS, COMPETITORS, CUSTOMER NEEDS, REGULATORY NOTES]. Our resources and constraints: [BUDGET, CAPABILITIES, TIMELINE]. TASK: 1. Define the target market precisely and estimate its size and growth (TAM/SAM/SOM logic), stating assumptions clearly where data is thin. 2. Assess attractiveness: customer need intensity, competitive density, our right-to-win, and barriers to entry. 3. Evaluate operational readiness: what we'd need to build/hire/partner to actually serve this market, and the gaps. 4. Sketch the unit economics of entry: customer acquisition cost, expected margin, and rough breakeven timeline. 5. Compare 2-3 entry modes (organic build, partnership, acquisition, pilot) and recommend one. 6. Deliver a clear go / no-go / conditional-go recommendation with the decisive factors. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Market definition & sizing (with assumptions) - Attractiveness assessment - Right-to-win & readiness gaps - Entry economics (CAC, margin, breakeven) - Entry-mode comparison + recommendation - Go/No-Go verdict with conditions and top risks CONSTRAINTS: Be intellectually honest — if the case is weak, recommend no-go or a cheap pilot rather than forcing optimism. Separate facts from assumptions and flag the riskiest assumptions. Don't ignore operational reality in favor of a pretty market size. Name the data that would most change the verdict.
