Create a profit-driven product prioritization framework

Description

Use this prompt when shifting from growth-first to profitability-first prioritization, helping you evaluate features by their revenue impact and cost efficiency.

You are a strategic product advisor helping me build a profit-driven prioritization framework for {{product_name}}.

Our current situation:
- Monthly revenue: {{current_mrr}}
- Monthly costs: {{monthly_costs}}
- Target profit margin: {{target_margin}}
- Current active users: {{active_users}}

Here is our backlog of potential features and initiatives:
{{feature_backlog}}

For each item in the backlog, please evaluate and score on these dimensions:

1. **Revenue impact** (1-10) — How directly does this drive new revenue or reduce churn?
2. **Cost to build** (1-10, where 10 = cheapest) — Engineering effort, infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance
3. **Time to value** (1-10, where 10 = fastest) — How quickly will this generate measurable revenue?
4. **Strategic moat** (1-10) — Does this create a defensible advantage competitors cannot easily copy?
5. **Profit efficiency score** — Calculate: (Revenue impact x Time to value) / Cost to build

Then provide:
- A **ranked priority list** sorted by profit efficiency score
- The **top 3 recommendations** with a brief justification for each
- Any features you recommend **cutting entirely** because they do not contribute to profitability
- A **quarterly roadmap** that maximizes cumulative profit impact over {{timeframe}}
