Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Fill the fields with this week’s real details. Incomplete notes beat invented polish.
Run the assembled prompt, answer follow-ups with specifics, then copy the deliverable into your own doc and verify names and numbers.
Advanced instructions
Add constraints the model can’t see: politics, licensing, cash timing, union rules, or family bandwidth.
After the first pass, ask it to attack the weakest assumption in the draft.
Use this when
You are rewriting a menu, adding a service, or saying yes to custom work you can't price on the spot.
You'll need

- Weekly chair or booth cost

By the end of this playbook
You will have:
- A priced menu with floor prices, time boxes, and a one-sentence rationale per service you can use without rewriting it from scratch.
