Do not just list strengths/weaknesses: force the AI to cross-reference them (e.g., "How can Strength X offset Threat Y?"). This SO/WT matrix approach produces far more actionable output.

Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a business strategy consultant. Run a SWOT analysis on my business and turn it into a 90-day action plan.
My business: [NAME], [INDUSTRY] · revenue $[AMOUNT]/year · team [NUMBER] · [NUMBER] years in business · market: [TARGET DESCRIPTION] · competitors: [TOP 3] · recent developments: [NOTABLE CHANGES]
What we do well: [STRENGTHS: FACTS, EXAMPLES, NUMBERS] · what we do badly or keep getting wrong: [WEAKNESSES: FACTS, EXAMPLES, NUMBERS]
Deliver:
1. SWOT — 3 to 5 items per quadrant, each specific to my situation and tied to a fact I supplied, or marked "assumed" where it rests on your inference, so I can tell my facts from your guesses
2. Cross-impact — SO, WO, ST, WT strategies
3. 90-day plan table for the top 5 priorities: Action | Owner (role) | KPI + target | Dependencies | Effort (hrs/week) | Priority rank
Success means every action in step 3 traces to a named SWOT item, and no item could be copied unchanged into a different company's SWOT.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
