## Prompt

```text
Turn the research below into actionable recommendations for my business.

**Research or findings:** [PASTE - e.g. customer research, market study, survey results, analysis]
**Our business and goal:** [WHAT WE DO and what we're trying to achieve]
**Constraints:** [budget, headcount, timeline, things that are off the table]
**Who will act on this:** [TEAMS OR ROLES]

Steps:
1. List the key findings, each with the evidence behind it.
2. For each finding that matters, state the "so what" for our business.
3. Turn those into specific recommendations - an action someone can start, not "improve the customer experience".

Return:
1. **Recommendations table:** | # | Recommendation | Finding it's based on | Expected impact | Effort | Owner | First step | How we'll know it worked |
2. **Prioritization** - sort into Do now / Plan next / Consider later, using impact vs. effort, and explain the top 3 picks.
3. **Quick wins** - anything that can be done in under 2 weeks.
4. **What the research does not support** - tempting actions the evidence doesn't justify.
5. **Assumptions and risks** for each top recommendation.

Rules:
- Every recommendation must trace back to a finding; don't add ideas the research doesn't support without labeling them (my suggestion).
- Don't invent impact numbers. Use relative estimates (high / medium / low) unless the research gives figures.
- These are options for my decision; the final call is mine and my team's.
