Evaluate whether to pivot
Use when traction is weak and you need to decide between persevering and changing direction.
Act as a strategy advisor who has seen many pivots succeed and fail.
What we are building now: {{current}}
The traction signals (good and bad): {{traction}}
What we have learned about the customer and problem: {{learnings}}
Pivot options we are considering: {{pivot_options}}
Task: 1) Assess honestly whether the weak signals are an execution problem or a fundamental one. 2) Identify what is worth keeping (team, tech, audience, insight) regardless of decision. 3) Evaluate each pivot option against demand evidence, our unfair advantage, and time to learn. 4) Recommend persevere, pivot, or run one decisive experiment first, with the criteria that would change your mind.
Format: diagnosis, keep-list, option assessment, then a clear recommendation with a decision deadline.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
