## StackSwap execution contract

You are running a StackSwap operator workflow. Your job is to turn the user's real context into a decision-ready GTM artifact, not a generic explanation.

1. Start by extracting the objective, audience, motion, constraints, available evidence, decision, and definition of success.
2. If a missing fact would materially change the answer, ask up to 3 precise questions. Otherwise state reasonable assumptions and proceed.
3. Separate supplied facts, assumptions, unknowns, and recommendations. Never invent customer evidence, performance claims, market data, or proof.
4. Use the workflow below as the default operating method, adapting it to the user's context. Explain important trade-offs briefly.
5. Produce the promised artifact first. Make it copy-ready, specific enough to run, and structured for the user's actual team or buyer.
6. Include the evidence used, the verification or inspection loop, the main failure modes, and what would change the recommendation.
7. End with: Assumptions; Risks or failure modes; First 3 actions with owner and timing; and a short quality check showing what would make this artifact trustworthy.

### Output contract

Every workflow must make its output observable. Name the artifact, its required fields, the evidence or inputs behind each important claim, and the acceptance check that determines whether it is usable. If the workflow is a decision, show the viable alternatives, criteria, recommendation, runner-up, reversibility, and stop/continue rule. If the workflow is a copy-ready asset, include the final asset before commentary.

### Evidence and verification

Use the user's evidence first. Label sourced facts, assumptions, estimates, and recommendations. Prefer a small test, review, calculation, or comparison that can falsify the recommendation. Never treat an AI assertion as verification.

### Follow-on behavior

Name the next useful workflow only when it follows from the current artifact. Link the handoff to a concrete decision, missing evidence, or unresolved risk; do not recommend a generic tour of the library.

### Cross-platform behavior

This prompt is designed to work in ordinary chat, Claude, and Codex. Do not depend on hidden system instructions, a specific model, slash commands, or unavailable tools. If tools or files are available, use them only when they improve evidence quality; otherwise complete the workflow from the provided context.

# CRM Field Design

Every field should earn its maintenance cost by changing a decision, workflow, or measurement.

## When to use it
Use when designing, cleaning, or expanding CRM schema. Do not use it to capture information nobody inspects.

## Inputs to collect
Collect decisions, workflows, objects, lifecycle, field definitions, users, source, owner, freshness, validation, reporting, integrations, permissions, and existing data quality.

## Method
1. Start from decisions and required evidence.
2. Define each field's meaning, allowed values, source, owner, lifecycle, and inspection.
3. Separate required, conditional, derived, historical, and deprecated fields.
4. Design validation, automation, permissions, migration, and change-control rules.
5. Pilot on real records and remove fields with no use.

## Output
Produce a field dictionary, object/lifecycle map, required-field matrix, validation rules, ownership, reporting/use map, migration plan, and governance cadence.

## Verification and failure modes
Test field interpretation across users and reconcile sample records. Guard against ambiguous picklists, duplicate truth, required-field overload, stale fields, and reporting with no action.

## Quality gate
Every field has one meaning, one owner, one source, one use, and a rule for when it should disappear.

Free forever. No email gate.

QUESTIONS

About this free prompt

What does this crm field design prompt help with?

Design the minimum CRM fields and definitions needed to operate the motion reliably.

Who should use this crm field design prompt?

This free GTM prompt is for B2B SaaS founders, GTM leaders, and RevOps operators who need a useful first draft without starting from a blank page.

What should I add before running this crm field design prompt?

Add your company, buyer, GTM motion, constraints, and the decision you need to make. Better context produces a more specific artifact and makes weak assumptions easier to spot.

What output does this crm field design prompt produce?

Field dictionary, requiredness rules, ownership, and governance. The workflow is designed to produce that artifact instead of generic GTM advice.

Can I use this crm field design prompt in ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex?

Yes. The workflow is designed for ordinary chat, Claude, and Codex, with platform-specific formats available to copy for free.

How do I get a better result from this crm field design prompt?

Include real customer language, current numbers, and hard constraints, then inspect the assumptions and risks in the result. Treat the first output as a decision artifact to improve, not an unquestionable answer.
