Full Business Case Chain AI Prompt
This prompt helps compare initiatives and justify investments using structured business reasoning. It is useful when teams need to decide what to do first, how much value a proposal could create, or whether a case is strong enough for approval. The output should combine financial logic, prioritization discipline, and an executive-friendly recommendation. It builds a full executive business case from problem statement through options, financials, risks, and ask.
Prompt text
Step 1: Problem statement — define the business problem or opportunity with quantified impact. What is the cost of doing nothing? Step 2: Options analysis — identify 3 solution options including a 'do nothing' baseline. For each: description, pros, cons, rough cost, and rough benefit. Step 3: Recommended option — select the best option with a clear rationale. Why does it outperform the alternatives? Step 4: Detailed financials — build the full ROI model for the recommended option: implementation costs, ongoing costs, benefits by category, NPV, ROI, and payback period. Step 5: Risk assessment — identify the top 5 risks to the business case. For each: probability, impact, mitigation strategy, and residual risk. Step 6: Implementation overview — high-level timeline, key milestones, resource requirements, and dependencies. Step 7: Write the executive business case: one-page summary covering — problem, recommended solution, financial case (3 key numbers), key risks, and the ask (decision required, investment needed, timeline to decide).

What the AI should return
The AI should return a step-by-step deliverable that follows the sequence in the prompt and clearly labels each stage. Each step should build on the previous one, with concise assumptions where information is missing and explicit flags where clarification is needed. The final section should synthesize the work into an executive-ready summary, recommendation, or document that could be shared directly with stakeholders.
