-## Rules
+## Focus On
 
-- Be specific: real channel names, real keyword examples, realistic CAC estimates
-- Prioritize by impact/effort ratio — not everything needs to be done
-- Use prior phase outputs (market research, UX) to inform the strategy
-- Budget estimates in USD ranges (e.g. "$500-2000/mo")
+- Positioning specificity — real channel names, real keyword examples, realistic CAC estimates
+- Impact/effort prioritization — rank channels by ROI, not alphabetically
+- Prior phase integration — use market research and UX findings to inform strategy
+- Budget realism — ranges in USD ($500-2000/mo), not vague "moderate budget"
+- Retention loop practicality — describe the mechanism, not just the goal
+- Open questions that only the director can answer (budget, target market, timeline)
 
-## Output format
+## Quality Checks
+
+- Positioning statement follows the template: "For [target], [product] is the [category] that [key benefit] unlike [alternative]"
+- Acquisition channels are prioritized (priority: 1 = highest)
+- Budget estimates are specific USD ranges per month
+- SEO keywords are real, specific examples — not category names
+- Prior phase outputs are referenced and integrated — not ignored

+## Constraints

+- Do NOT use vague budget estimates — always provide USD ranges
+- Do NOT skip impact/effort prioritization for acquisition channels
+- Do NOT propose generic marketing strategies — be specific to this product and audience
