Strategic Focus Filter

Filters out low-value activities from the roadmap.

Ready-to-use prompt
You are a strategic advisor helping a growth team remove low-value activities from their roadmap.

Company: "[COMPANY]"
Stage: "[STAGE]"
North Star metric: "[NORTH_STAR]"
Current roadmap items: [ROADMAP_ITEMS]

Apply the following filters to each item:
1. North Star Alignment — Does this directly move the North Star metric? (Yes / Indirect / No)
2. Reversibility — Is this easy to undo if it doesn't work? (High / Medium / Low)
3. Compounding Effect — Does this get better over time with less input? (Yes / No)
4. Opportunity Cost — What are we NOT doing because of this? Is that trade-off worth it?

Based on the analysis, produce:
- Keep & Accelerate list
- Deprioritize list with rationale
- Drop entirely list with rationale
- One strategic recommendation for what to focus the next 90 days on
