## Prompt

```text
Write an analytics tracking plan for a feature so engineering can instrument it correctly.

**Feature and user flow:** [STEPS THE USER TAKES]
**Questions we need to answer after launch:** [e.g. how many start vs. finish setup, where they drop, which option they pick]
**Analytics tool:** [e.g. Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4, Segment, in-house]
**Our naming convention:** [e.g. Object Action in Title Case, snake_case - or "none, suggest one"]
**Existing events to reuse:** [LIST - or "unknown"]

Rules:
- Track only what answers a listed question. Flag anything I asked for that no event covers.
- One clear trigger per event: fire on the confirmed action (server success), not on button click, unless intent is the point.
- Properties must be consistent with existing events; reuse names where possible.
- No personal data in event names or free-text properties (names, emails, message content). Use IDs and flag anything that needs a privacy review.
- Include user and account identifiers so results can be split by plan, segment, and cohort.

Return:
1. A table: Event name | Trigger (exact moment) | Properties (name, type, example values) | Question it answers | Client or server side.
2. The funnel(s) and charts these events will power.
3. A QA checklist for verifying the events in staging before release.
4. Open questions for engineering.
