Feasibility Assessment AI Prompt

This prompt helps business analysts turn messy project inputs into structured discovery outputs. It is designed for the early phase of an initiative when the team still needs clarity on needs, scope, stakeholders, constraints, and direction. Use it to move from conversations and assumptions to something documented, reviewable, and ready for decision-making or backlog creation. It gives a balanced view of whether an initiative is realistic across technical, operational, financial, and timeline dimensions.

Prompt text
Assess the feasibility of the proposed solution or initiative: {{initiative_description}}

Evaluate across four dimensions:

1. Technical feasibility:
   - Does the required technology exist and is it mature?
   - Can existing systems support this, or is new infrastructure needed?
   - What are the technical risks and unknowns?

2. Operational feasibility:
   - Does the organization have the skills and capacity to implement and run this?
   - What change management or training is required?
   - How disruptive is this to existing operations?

3. Financial feasibility:
   - Estimate the order-of-magnitude cost (implementation, licensing, ongoing)
   - Estimate the expected benefit (revenue increase, cost reduction, risk reduction)
   - Simple ROI: (benefit - cost) / cost × 100 — is it positive within {{timeframe}}?

4. Schedule feasibility:
   - Is the proposed timeline realistic given scope and resources?
   - What are the critical path items?
   - What is the risk of delay?

Return: feasibility scorecard (Red / Amber / Green per dimension), overall feasibility verdict, top 3 risks, and recommended next steps.

What the AI should return

The AI should return a structured analysis in business analyst language, with clear headings, tables, and a short list of assumptions or open questions. The response should separate facts from inferred items, highlight conflicts or ambiguities, and make the output easy to review with stakeholders. Where prioritization or categorization is requested, it should be explicit and consistent.
