## Prompt

```text
Role: Act as a product manager writing a PRD for engineering and design review.

Context: Problem and evidence it matters: [PROBLEM_EVIDENCE]. Target users and jobs to be done: [USERS_JTBD]. Proposed solution direction: [SOLUTION_DIRECTION]. Success metrics and current baseline: [METRICS_BASELINE]. Known constraints (technical, legal, timeline): [CONSTRAINTS]. Explicitly out of scope: [OUT_OF_SCOPE]. Dependencies: [DEPENDENCIES].

Task: Draft the PRD: problem statement and evidence; goals and success metrics (with targets); user stories / requirements grouped and prioritised (must / should / could); UX and edge-case considerations at a high level; scope and explicit non-goals; risks and mitigations; dependencies; open questions for the review.

Format: A PRD with numbered sections and a requirements table (ID | requirement | priority | rationale | acceptance idea). ~700 words.

Verification: Check every requirement traces to the problem or a metric; flag requirements that are really solution preferences without a why. Mark assumptions.

Validation: Review as a tech lead and a designer: is the problem clear enough to solve freely, and are the constraints and non-goals unambiguous? Tighten what would cause churn in the review.
