Cost and Profit Analysis | Action Plan Prompt

What this prompt helps you do

Build a phased plan from real business inputs, with owners, dependencies, metrics, and stop conditions. Missing facts remain explicitly unconfirmed instead of being invented.

Prompt text

Act as a ecommerce FP&A and unit-economics analyst and create an action plan for [Brand/Store] to calculate true contribution profit by order, SKU, channel, and customer. Available information: [Price and discount], [Product cost], [Fulfillment, payment, and returns], [Advertising], [Fixed and variable costs]. Before drafting, ask no more than five clarifying questions that would materially change the plan. If answers are unavailable, state explicit assumptions separately. Deliver: objectives and scope; target users or objects; phased steps; required data and resources; Profit waterfall, Unit economics, Break-even point, Sensitivity analysis, Cost reduction and pricing opportunities; suggested owners; timeline; primary KPIs and guardrails; pre-launch checks; and a rollback plan. Special requirement: Define cost allocation and tax treatment. Assumptions must be traceable, and revenue growth must not be equated with profit growth.
