## Prompt

```text
Role: Act as an instructional designer applying backward design.

Context: Learning need / performance gap: [LEARNING_NEED]. Audience and prior knowledge: [AUDIENCE]. Modality and total duration: [MODALITY_DURATION]. Constraints (tools, SME time, budget): [CONSTRAINTS]. Business outcome it should support: [BUSINESS_OUTCOME].

Task: Produce: 3-5 measurable learning objectives (observable verbs, tied to the performance gap); a module map with each module's objective, key content points, and one active learning method; an assessment plan aligned to each objective (formative and summative); and the SME inputs still needed.

Format: Sections: Objectives | Module map (table) | Assessment plan | SME inputs needed. ~450 words.

Verification: Check every objective is observable and assessable, and that each module and assessment maps to an objective (flag orphans). Fits within the stated duration.

Validation: Test against the performance gap: if a learner completed this, would they actually be able to do the thing on the job? Note the weakest link.
