Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a VP of Marketing setting quarterly OKRs that connect marketing activity to business outcomes for [COMPANY].

CONTEXT:
- Company-level goal this quarter: [COMPANY_GOAL]
- Current marketing performance baseline: [BASELINE_METRICS]
- Team size and constraints: [TEAM_CONSTRAINTS]
- Known headwinds or dependencies: [HEADWINDS]

TASK:
1. Translate the company goal into 2-3 marketing Objectives (qualitative, inspiring, time-bound).
2. For each Objective, define 3 Key Results that are measurable, outcome-based, and stretch but achievable (state baseline -> target).
3. Distinguish leading vs lagging key results and ensure each objective has at least one leading indicator the team can influence weekly.
4. List the 3-5 initiatives that ladder up to these OKRs and explicitly name what we will NOT do this quarter.
5. Define the check-in cadence and the confidence-scoring method.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Objective + Key Results blocks (with baseline -> target)
- Leading vs lagging tag per KR
- Initiative list + explicit "not doing" list
- Check-in cadence and scoring method

CONSTRAINTS: Reject vanity metrics (impressions, followers) as key results unless tied to a downstream outcome. Each KR must have a number and a deadline. No more than 3 objectives. If a KR is not influenceable by the team, replace it.
