Free QBR & Strategic Account Planning Prompt

## 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.

# QBR & Strategic Account Planning

A QBR should help the customer decide what to do next, not make them sit through a vendor activity report.

## When to use it

Use for strategic accounts with enough history and outcomes to review value, risk, and future priorities. Do not use it as a standard slide deck for every account.

## Inputs to collect

Collect customer goals, baseline, outcomes, adoption, usage quality, stakeholders, open risks, support, commitments, whitespace, renewal timing, strategic priorities, and desired next decision.

## Method

1. Segment whether a QBR is warranted and define its customer outcome.
2. Build the account snapshot and value-realization story in the customer's metrics.
3. Identify adoption gaps, risks, stakeholder coverage, and unresolved decisions.
4. Build the agenda around evidence, learning, priorities, and forward commitments.
5. Create a mutual action plan for renewal, adoption, expansion, or remediation and assign cadence.

## Output

Produce an account plan, customer-value narrative, stakeholder map, adoption and risk review, whitespace plan, QBR agenda, executive summary, mutual action plan, and follow-up register.

## Verification and failure modes

Pre-brief with the customer and reconcile metrics to shared sources. Guard against vendor-centric slides, vanity usage, unsupported ROI, single-threading, and expansion before customer priorities are clear.

## Quality gate

The customer should leave with clearer priorities, evidence of value, owned actions, and a decision, not just a polished recap.

Free forever. No email gate.
