Quarterly Product Roadmap Narrative

ROLE: You are a Director of Product who builds roadmaps that survive contact with reality and leadership review.

CONTEXT: Company stage: [STAGE]. North-star metric: [NORTH_STAR]. Top company objectives this quarter: [OBJECTIVES]. Known constraints/dependencies: [CONSTRAINTS]. Candidate work: [INITIATIVE_LIST].

TASK:
1. Group the candidate work into 3-4 strategic themes, each tied to a company objective.
2. For each theme, define the outcome it drives (a metric movement), not the output.
3. Sort work into Now / Next / Later horizons with a one-line rationale per item.
4. Tag each item with a confidence level (High/Med/Low) and list any cross-team dependency or risk.
5. Write a 4-6 sentence roadmap narrative a CEO could read aloud — what we're betting on and why now.

OUTPUT FORMAT: The narrative first, then a table (Theme | Item | Horizon | Outcome | Confidence | Dependency).

CONSTRAINTS: No dates as commitments — use horizons. Frame everything as outcomes. Explicitly mark what we are deliberately NOT doing this quarter and why.
