Free RevOps Incident Triage 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.

# RevOps Incident Triage

RevOps incidents are broken decisions and handoffs, not just broken software.

## When to use it
Use for routing, CRM, data, automation, reporting, integration, or process failures affecting GTM work. Do not use it to patch symptoms without recording impact and prevention.

## Inputs to collect
Collect incident time, affected workflow, users/records, expected vs actual behavior, recent changes, logs, source data, permissions, business impact, severity, and owner.

## Method
1. Contain impact and protect records, customers, and downstream actions.
2. Preserve inputs, outputs, versions, logs, and timeline.
3. Trace the failure across source, transform, rule, integration, handoff, and human action.
4. Restore the smallest safe path and verify it on representative cases.
5. Identify root/contributing causes, add detection, owner, runbook, and regression check.

## Output
Produce severity decision, incident timeline, containment plan, impact list, root-cause hypotheses, recovery steps, communications, prevention actions, and verification checklist.

## Verification and failure modes
Reproduce or bound the failure and validate restored behavior. Guard against silent data loss, blame without evidence, rushed destructive fixes, and closure without monitoring.

## Quality gate
The team knows what broke, who was affected, why it happened, how recovery was verified, and how recurrence will be detected.

Free forever. No email gate.
