Build a before-and-after transformation storyline
Frames a change, project, or proposal as a vivid before-and-after story with the bridge that gets people there.
The prompt
Build a before-and-after transformation storyline for my presentation.
What is changing: [the project, new process, system, strategy, or proposal]
Before (today): [how things work now, pain points, numbers I have]
After (target or achieved): [how things will work or now work, results or targets]
How we get there: [the steps, investment, timeline]
Audience: [WHO, and whether they are affected by the change]
Is this a proposal or a results story? [proposal / results achieved]
Structure:
1. Before: make today real with a specific scenario a person in the audience recognizes ("A customer calls about an invoice and waits 3 days...").
2. Cost of staying put: what happens if nothing changes.
3. After: the same scenario in the new world, with measurable differences side by side.
4. The bridge: what it takes - steps, effort, investment, what people need to do differently.
5. Proof: evidence it works (pilot results, benchmarks) or how we'll measure it.
6. Ask or next step.
Return:
1. A slide-by-slide outline with full-sentence headlines.
2. A before/after comparison table for one slide: | Dimension | Before | After | Change |
3. A suggested visual for the key before/after slide.
4. Honest caveats: what gets harder during the transition, and who is affected.
Use only my numbers. Label targets as targets, not results. Mark gaps as [ADD DATA].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
