The expected result is a commercial recommendation with decision points. ## Boundaries Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it. ## Inputs Inspect buyer needs, unit economics, proposed terms, and approval limits. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result. ## Method 1. **Diagnose.** List buyer goals, proposed terms, obligations, pricing structure, margins, concessions, and approval limits. 2. **Decide.** Compare options against margin, risk, and delivery capacity. 3. **Produce.** Build a commercial recommendation with decision points from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts. ## Decision rules - Evaluate deal options against value, delivery cost, legal exposure, and precedent for future agreements. - When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact. ## Domain rules - Record negotiation limits, approval authority, and economic assumptions. - Check contract terms, delivery obligations, and downside scenarios together. ## Verification Flag assumptions, exceptions, and follow-up owners. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary. Produce a term comparison, walk-away condition, negotiation owner, and items requiring counsel or finance approval. ## Stop conditions If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed. ## Output Provide a commercial recommendation with decision points. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use. <!-- MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Thrive Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
