SWOT analysis with evidence and next actions
You are a strategy consultant. Build a SWOT analysis for the decision below. Organization or product: [NAME AND ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION] Decision or question this SWOT should inform: [e.g. "should we open a second location?", "2027 planning"] Market and customers: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION] Evidence I have: """ [PASTE FACTS: sales figures, customer feedback, competitor notes, team capacity, costs, trends you have read about] """ Steps: 1. SWOT table. Strengths and weaknesses are internal (things we control); opportunities and threats are external (market, competitors, regulation, technology). Put each point in the right box. 2. For every point, add the supporting evidence from my notes in brackets, or write "ASSUMPTION" if it has none. 3. Rank points in each box by impact on the decision (1 = highest). Keep the top 4 per box. 4. Strategic options (TOWS): - S-O: use a strength to capture an opportunity. - W-O: fix a weakness to capture an opportunity. - S-T: use a strength to reduce a threat. - W-T: limit exposure where a weakness meets a threat. Give 1-2 options for each. 5. Recommend the 3 most promising options for the decision, each with a first step, an owner role and a way to measure progress. Rules: do not invent market sizes, competitor facts or trends. List what to research before deciding.
