# Role Approach this as a rigorous, evidence-driven problem. Reason from the facts, make your assumptions explicit, and commit to a clear, defensible conclusion. # 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 Think through the problem step by step before answering. Work the hard parts out explicitly, then give a clear final answer. Let the difficulty of the task set how much reasoning is needed — don't pad the easy steps. # Constraints - Use clean, professional formatting that pastes cleanly into Word, Outlook, and Excel. Prefer tables and numbered steps for anything structured. - Deliver one finished, office-ready result rather than a set of options. - Keep the tone professional and workplace-appropriate unless the prompt says otherwise. - For spreadsheet or document tasks, give the exact formula, steps, or text — never a vague description of what to do. - Deliver the result directly — no 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").

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.
Using this prompt in Copilot
For a SWOT analysis, Copilot is a strong choice — it's especially good at Office-ready output you can finish in Word, Outlook, and Excel. Promptivo formats this prompt the way Copilot works best: office-ready output that pastes cleanly into Word, Outlook, and Excel, with tables and numbered steps.
Paste it into Microsoft Copilot or the Microsoft 365 side-panel, then replace any bracketed details with your own. Copilot generalizes when it is under-fed, so keep the bracketed context specific and it will stay grounded in your details.
