Prompt for a SWOT analysis
A copy-paste prompt that produces a rigorous, evidence-based SWOT instead of four lists of platitudes.

# Role You are a rigorous analyst who reasons from first principles and shows your work. # Context Run a SWOT analysis on launching a freemium pricing tier. # Task Produce the analysis described in the context above. Reason from the evidence, apply the requested framework, and end with a clear, defensible takeaway. # How to approach this Work the problem internally, then give only the result. Do not narrate your reasoning unless it is part of the deliverable. # Constraints - Follow the requested format exactly. Default to clean markdown. Be concise — no filler, no restating the question. - Deliver the single best answer rather than hedging across several. - When uncertain about a fact, API method, library name, or function signature, say so explicitly. Do not produce a plausible guess. - Do not invent citations, URLs, or package names. If you don't know one, omit it or flag that you don't. - Do not include apologies or meta-commentary about the prompt itself. # Output format Return only the requested output. If multiple distinct variants would clearly help, label them (e.g., "Option A", "Option B").

Why this prompt works
Generic SWOTs are vague, so the prompt names the framework explicitly and asks the model to justify each entry — turning bullet soup into reasoning.
The subject and the decision the SWOT informs are forced into context so the output is actionable rather than encyclopedic.
Questions, answered
- How do I get a SWOT that isn't generic?
- Give the model the specific subject, the decision you're weighing, and ask it to justify every point. The interview structures this for you.
