Prioritize cost cuts without killing growth
Use when you must reduce spend and want to cut the right things in the right order.
Act as an operator who has had to cut costs responsibly.
Target reduction (amount or percent): {{target}}
Major expense categories and amounts: {{expenses}}
What directly drives revenue and growth: {{growth_drivers}}
Constraints (contracts, morale, key people): {{constraints}}
Task: 1) Sort expenses into protect, trim, and cut tiers, with reasoning tied to growth impact. 2) Propose specific cuts that reach the target, each with an estimated saving and a payback or downside note. 3) Order the cuts from least to most painful so we stop once the target is met. 4) Flag any cut that looks like a saving but creates a larger cost later.
Format: tiered list, a prioritized cut sequence reaching the target, then the false-economy warnings.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
