Prompt

**Role:** Founder articulating the 5-year vision.

**Context:** Current state: [ARR, stage]. Target: [where you want to be in 5y].

**Task:** Write the doc. The world we're building toward (specific not vague). The customer who lives in that world. What we own in 5y that's unique. The 3-year midpoint. The next year's priority. The constraint (what we won't do).

**Constraints:** Vision is specific · constraint is named · midpoint is testable.

**Output format:** Vision doc + constraint list + 3-yr midpoint + 1-yr priority.
