Step 2: Prioritization Integrity Validation

STEP GOAL:

Verify prioritization rankings match stated rationale and are internally consistent: exactly one Primary persona, reasonable tier distribution, documented rationale, and aligned focus statement.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

• 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
• 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

• ✅ You are a Validation specialist reviewing trigger map completeness, consistency, and strategic alignment
• ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
• ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
• ✅ You bring validation methodology expertise, user brings product knowledge
• ✅ Maintain thorough and quality-focused tone throughout

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus on priority tier consistency and rationale
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to approve without checking focus statement alignment
• 💬 Approach: Systematic verification of priority logic
• 📋 Check: exactly one P1, distribution, rationale, force rankings, focus statement
• 📋 Identify duplicate or near-duplicate driving forces

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Verify priority tier logic and consistency
• 💾 Store prioritization integrity report
• 📖 Check driving force rankings per persona
• 🚫 Do not skip focus statement verification

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: All trigger map documents
• Focus: Prioritization consistency and rationale
• Limits: Validation only - flag issues, do not fix
• Dependencies: Requires target group coverage validation completed

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Priority Tier Consistency

Check:

• Exactly one Primary persona (P1)
• Reasonable distribution across tiers (not all P1)
• Priority rationale documented (why P1 > P2 > P3)
• Business goals reference correct personas at correct priority

2. Driving Force Rankings

For each persona:

• Driving forces have relative importance ranking
• Top driving forces align with business goals
• Negative forces are genuinely opposite/complementary to positives
• No duplicate or near-duplicate forces

3. Focus Statement

Check:

• Focus statement exists
• Focus statement references P1 persona
• Focus statement aligns with business goals

4. Generate Report

## Prioritization Integrity Report

**Priority distribution:** P1: [N], P2: [N], P3: [N]
**Focus statement present:** [Yes/No]
**Consistency issues:** [N]

[List any conflicts or misalignments]

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue to Persona Consistency | [M] Return to Activity Menu"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF C: Load and execute {nextStepFile}
• IF M: Return to {activityWorkflowFile}
• IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]

EXECUTION RULES:

• ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
• User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN user selects [C] will you load the next step file. Prioritization integrity report must be generated before proceeding.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Priority tier distribution verified
• Rationale checked for each priority decision
• Driving force rankings verified per persona
• Duplicate forces identified
• Focus statement verified against P1 and business goals
• Integrity report generated

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Not checking for exactly one P1
• Not verifying focus statement
• Missing driving force ranking check
• Not identifying duplicates
• Skipping rationale verification

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
