## Prompt

```text
Help me triage and prioritize the requests coming into my marketing team.

**Current requests:** [PASTE LIST: requester, what they want, deadline they gave, why]
**Our team and capacity:** [PEOPLE, skills, approximate hours available this month]
**Marketing priorities this quarter:** [OKRs or top goals]
**Work already committed:** [LAUNCHES, campaigns, recurring work]

Do this:
1. Score each request on: impact on our quarterly goals or revenue, urgency (real external deadline vs. preferred date), effort (S/M/L), and whether a self-serve option exists (template, existing asset, brand toolkit).
2. Sort into: do now, schedule, redirect to self-serve or another team, decline. Explain each call in one line.
3. Spot patterns: recurring requests that should become templates or a self-serve library, and requesters who need a standing slot.
4. Draft short, respectful replies for each "schedule", "redirect", and "decline", offering an alternative where possible.

Then design a lightweight intake process:
- A request form with required fields (goal, audience, metric, deadline, decision-maker, budget, existing assets).
- Service levels by request type (e.g. social graphic 3 days, landing page 2 weeks).
- A weekly prioritization slot and how to escalate conflicts to leadership with a clear trade-off ("If we do X, Y moves to next month").

Return the triage table (Request | Requester | Impact | Urgency | Effort | Decision | Reason), the replies, and the intake form fields.
