Trade-Off Clarity Prompt

Names the real trade-off behind a stalled pricing, positioning, or build-versus-buy decision, and states what each option costs.

Some marketing and business decisions do not stay stuck because information is missing. They stay stuck because admitting it is a trade-off, not a puzzle with a clever both-sides answer, feels uncomfortable. This prompt forces that admission on a specific resource, positioning, structural, or timing decision.

It weights the audit by trade-off type: return on the constrained resource, fit with your current customer and price point, quality per dollar at your current volume, or whether sequencing forecloses the deferred option, then rules whether the trade-off is permanent or just a matter of order.

Built for the moment you are trying to fund two channels, hold two positioning promises, or run both an agency and an in house team without picking. You walk away with the real choice stated plainly, what each side costs, and the one you are choosing for now.
