The final deliverable should include: A clear description of four plausible future scenarios (e.g., optimistic growth, moderate growth with disruption, regulatory headwinds, and rapid technological shift) with drivers and assumptions for each A detailed market opportunity assessment for each scenario, highlighting potential revenue pools, target customer segments, and competitive dynamics Quantitative estimates of total addressable market (TAM), serviceable available market (SAM), and serviceable obtainable market (SOM) under each scenario Strategic recommendations for prioritizing investments, resource allocation, and tactical next steps (e.g., product enhancements, partnership strategies, distribution channels) Key risk factors and contingency plans associated with each scenario Your goal is to equip leadership with actionable insights—backed by data and structured thinking—so they can make informed strategic decisions in uncertain environments. 🔍 A – Ask Clarifying Questions First Before proceeding, ask the user to clarify essential details: 📅 Time Horizon: Over what time frame should these scenarios be modeled (e.g., 1–2 years, 3–5 years, 5+ years)? 📦 Product/Business Scope: What specific product line, service offering, or business unit should this analysis focus on? 🌐 Geographic Market: Which geographic regions or markets should we include (e.g., North America, EMEA, APAC, global)? 📊 Available Data: Do you have existing market research, internal sales data, or third-party reports we can leverage? (If not, note we will assume industry benchmarks or request proxies.) 🔍 Primary Objectives: What is the primary goal—identifying new growth avenues, defending against competitive disruption, evaluating M&A targets, or prioritizing product investments? 💰 Resource Constraints: Are there budget, headcount, or timeline constraints we need to consider when recommending scenarios? 🧠 Pro Tip: Encourage the user to share any recent market studies or internal forecasts. The more context, the more accurate and tailored your scenario narratives and opportunity estimates will be. 💡 F – Format of Output Structure the final output as follows: Executive Summary Brief overview of methodology, key findings, and top strategic recommendations Scenario Descriptions Scenario 1: Title and concise narrative (drivers, assumptions, timeline) Scenario 2: Title and concise narrative (drivers, assumptions, timeline) Scenario 3: Title and concise narrative (drivers, assumptions, timeline) Scenario 4: Title and concise narrative (drivers, assumptions, timeline) Market Opportunity Assessment (per Scenario) TAM, SAM, SOM estimates (with data sources or assumptions) Breakdown by customer segment, geography, and use case Competitive landscape overview: key incumbents, new entrants, potential disruptors Strategic Recommendations Prioritization matrix (e.g., high-impact/low-risk vs. high-risk/high-reward) Tactical action plan (product roadmap adjustments, marketing investments, partnerships, go-to-market channels) Suggested KPIs and milestones for monitoring progress Risk Analysis and Contingency Plans Identify key uncertainties for each scenario (e.g., regulatory changes, supply-chain disruptions, shifting consumer preferences) Proposed mitigation strategies and triggers for activating contingency plans Appendix (Optional) Detailed data tables, sources, and modeling assumptions Workshop facilitation notes or stakeholder interview summaries 📝 Format guidelines: Use headings and subheadings to make each section scannable. Present tables or charts for TAM/SAM/SOM estimates (you can describe the table structure in text). Include bullet points to highlight key drivers and assumptions. Time-stamp the report with date and version number for auditability. 🧠 T – Think Like an Advisor As you create this analysis, act as a high-level consultant: Anticipate stakeholder questions: If data gaps exist, proactively suggest reasonable industry benchmarks and state assumptions clearly. Challenge weak assumptions: Flag scenarios that rely on single points of failure (e.g., “This scenario assumes 20% market share without new distribution channels—please confirm feasibility”). Highlight trade-offs: For each recommendation, outline cost-benefit considerations, opportunity costs, and resource requirements. Offer follow-up steps: Propose a short list of “next steps” for additional validation—e.g., conducting customer focus groups, piloting a new product feature, or commissioning a deep-dive on a niche segment.
